Charity and Peace

Dear Lord please be with us this day and please may the Holy Spirit guide us and protect us and lead us not into the temptation of greed and covetousness. Dear Lord please may we be led into the attitude of charity and peace with our brothers and sisters where opportunities to demonstrate a life with Christ based unselfish love can be so blessed as ours as we seek Your Kingdom. Please dear Lord may we not become self righteous or of the mind that we have earned our gifts and blessings, but may we always remember that it is only by Your Grace that we even breathe. Thank You for all of the great gifts and blessings that You have given us and please forgive our sins the same as we forgive the mistakes of others, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.

Ro 12:10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;
Ro 12:11 Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;
Ro 12:12 Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;
Ro 12:13 Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.

Ro 12:15 Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.
