Read 2 Peter 1–3.
For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love.
2 Peter 1:5–7
Dear God,
Faith, goodness, knowledge, self-control, perseverance, godliness, mutual affection, and love—how different this world would be if everyone focused on those eight tremendous words. My prayer for today is that every person, especially those on my prayer list, experiences at least one of these words today. And with their experiences, may they use them to make another experience for someone else. Soften our hearts, Lord. Help us to act like you and imitate you so that we may grow in relationship with you to eventually be with you in eternity. Thank you for the gift of this day and for the opportunity to grow and try again.
I love you, Papa.
