The middle of 2 Tim 2:9 “The Lord knows who are His.” = It made me think…God knows that I am His, but does the rest of the world? Such a challenging thought! I want the world to know that I LOVE HIM!
So to remind myself of all He has done for me, I wrote this list…
I love Him because: A few of my reasons were…He sent His Son, He gave me His righteousness, He is preparing a place in heaven for me!
This was such an encouraging exercise!
Loving my Savior!

Anyone else feel like God is saying, "Hey, are you being toxic to anyone else? It's not just about their influence on you, sweet daughter."? He got me right in the heart this morning. Am I leading other people into sin, whether it's gossip or anger or negativity? Am I edifying those around me, particularly those who have to be with me all the time? Lord, help me to be light in the lives around me. Make my words and actions build others up in love.
THIS. Absolutely. I had been feeling like I needed to make a change and become less negative and stop speaking ill of others behind their back and I feel that these words have helped me work on that. Yes it's easy to see others and a toxic influence from them, but I think it's really hard to admit that we can be just as toxic in our own actions. I echo your prayer.
