I read this today and was struck by its beauty and simplicity. It is from the book, “Living Words for Today,” which uses the Living Bible.
“My prayer for you is that you will overflow more and more with love for others, and at the same time keep on growing in spiritual knowledge and insight.
For I want you always to see clearly the difference between right and wrong, and to be inwardly clean, no one being able to criticize you from now until our Lord returns.
May you always be doing those good, kind things that go along with being a child of God, for this will bring much praise and glory to the Lord.
Always be full of joy in the Lord; I say it again, rejoice!
Let everyone see you are unselfish and gentle in all you do. Remember that the Lord is coming soon.”
Philippians 1:9-11; 4:4,5
