Let us encourage ourselves and those around us to believe in God's unwavering love and to trust in His perfect timing. May we find contentment in His presence and experience the joy that surpasses all understanding.
May the Lord bless you abundantly with His love, peace, and joy in every season of your life. May you find contentment in His promises and experience His faithfulness. Amen. ๐๐ผโค๏ธ

James 3:13-18 โ "Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom. But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth. Such โwisdomโ does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice. But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness."
