Bringing Beauty to Others

Dear Lord please be with us this day and may Your Holy Spirit please be guiding and protecting us in every thing that we say and do. Thank You for all of the great gifts and blessings and protection that You give us and please forgive our sins the same as we forgive the mistakes of others.
Dear Lord please lead us on paths of mercy and love and forgiveness as we seek Your Kingdom on this day and please lead us into the beautiful thought of being able to bring beauty to others in some way from some ability that You may give us if it be Thy Will, for Thine is the Kingdom and the Power and the Glory for ever, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.

Philippians 4:4

I am now drawing toward a close, and let this be my farewell. Whatever difficulties and persecutions may attend you,  rejoice always in the Lord; endeavor to maintain an habitual joy in Christ, and in the hopes and privileges you derive from him. And again I say, Rejoice. I renew the exhortation, as the honor of our Divine Master and your own comfort so much depends on attending to it. 

Philippians 4:5

 Let your moderation and gentleness, both in the pursuit of the various enjoyments of life, and in supporting the injuries and indignities you may meet with, be known unto all men, as visible in the whole of your behavior; for the Lord [is] at hand. He will quickly come to close the scene, and to put an end to all your temporal enjoyments, and all you can suffer from your enemies.  

Philippians 4:6

In the mean time, whatever necessities or whatever oppressions may arise,  be anxious about nothing, so as to disquiet or distress your minds; but in everything that occurs, in every condition and on every occasion, let your petitions be made known, and breathed out before God, in humble prayer and fervent supplication, to be still mingled with thanksgiving, as there is always room for praise and always occasion for it, even in circumstances of the greatest affliction and distress. 

Philippians 4:7 Php 4:7

 And if you exercise such a temper, the peace which the blessed Spirit of God diffuses over the souls of his people, that peace which far surpasses all understanding, which none can conceive but he who feels it, and which none can feel but by divine communication, shall guard and defend your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus, so that nothing shall be able to break in upon that sweet and sacred tranquility. 

Philippians 4:8

 As for what remains, my brethren, let me dispatch it in a few words. Be always intent on raising your characters to the greatest height you possible can: whatever things are true and sincere, whatever things [are] grave and venerable, whatever things [are] righteous and equitable, whatever things [are] chaste and pure, whatever things [are] friendly and kind, whatever things [are] reputable and truly ornamental, if [there be] any real virtue in them, and if [there be] any just praise resulting from them, think frequently of these things, consider what they are, how highly you are obliged to regard them, and endeavor more and more to abound in the practice of them.
