SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY 1 PETER 1:13-16

Call to Holy Living

¹³ So prepare your minds for service and have self-control. All your hope should be for the gift of grace that will be yours when Jesus Christ is shown to you.¹⁴ Now that you are obedient children of God do not live as you did in the past. You did not understand, so you did the evil things you wanted.¹⁵ But be holy in all you do, just as God, the One who called you, is holy.¹⁶ It is written in the Scriptures: "You must be holy, because I am holy."

I WISH YOU A DAY FILLED WITH LOVE, LAUGHTER, FORGIVENESS AND THANKSGIVING-JASPER
