SCRIPTURE FOR THE DAY   

⁴⁹ John answered, “Master, we saw someone using your name to force demons out of people. We told him to stop, because he does not belong to our group.”

⁵⁰ But Jesus said to him, “Don’t stop him, because whoever is not against you is for you.”

 

PRAYER FOR THE DAY  

Father, in our responsibility of neighborliness, You call us to reach not just our family or those with whom we share space in our neighborhood. But You call us to connect with the unlovely, the lonely, the outcast, and those who besmirch Your name. We often shirk our responsibility by reasoning that we don’t have the giftings, tools, training or resources to reach outside our own neighborhood. But if You have brought people to our attention You will provide us with all that is needed to show Your love, for we do it by telling what You have done for us. We share Your love by sharing of our faith so that the world knows that Jesus Christ is real to us every moment, every day. We pray for the desire and the will to be vessels suited for Your purpose in the name of Jesus we pray. Amen.


LIVE SIMPLY! LOVE GENEROUSLY! CARE DEEPLY! SPEAK KINDLY! LEAVE THE REST WITH GOD!!
