Here is your Verse of the Day:
Romans
14:19 (NIV). Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to
peace and to mutual edification....... Thoughts on This Verse... ''Make
every effort!'' That's quite a challenge. But notice where that exertion
is to be focused: peace and mutual edification. Both
sides of this exhortation are two way responsibilities. I must pursue
and share peace if I am going to have it myself. I must edify, and be
open to being edified, if mutual edification is going to happen. In
other words, we live with other people in God's family. He wants us to
be responsible for making relationships work in our spiritual family. He
reminds us it will require strenuous effort. But, isn't that true in
every family relationship? Love means sacrifice, effort, and concern for
others. When we share our love willingly, however, we're much more
likely to see it coming back to us!
