Scripture

The purpose of my instruction is that all believers would be filled with love that comes from a pure heart, a clear conscience, and gentle faith.

Reflection

My people too often miss the point of my word. They fill their minds with the arrogance of knowledge, looking for points of difference to establish their own superiority.

I don’t care whether you worship on Sunday or Saturday, as long as you worship me with a pure heart.

It doesn’t affect your walk with me or the forgiveness of sins whether you believe the Son of God was crucified on a Friday or a Wednesday.

It will make no difference to my plans for your life whether you think Christ’s return is next Sunday or next millennium.

My child, I long for your heart to be pure, your conscience clear, and your faith gentle.

Come to me and lay all your burdens down at my feet. I will take them and give you lightness of spirit.

Confess your sins to me and let go of them when you do so. Don’t stagger under the weight of guilt when I declare you “Not guilty.”

Love your Christian brothers and sisters wholeheartedly. If you disagree on points of doctrine, let love override your disagreement.

None of you as a monopoly on truth.

I am the truth. Surrender to me with all your heart and you will see the truth.

My word is truth and life. Study my word for wisdom not knowledge, for truth and not to win arguments .

Set your heart on me always.

Prayer

Lord, I come to you now, humbly and honestly. Cleanse my heart of my sin and impure thoughts. Help me to love all of my brothers and sisters in Christ. Amen
