“They have told
the church here of your loving friendship. Please continue providing for such
teachers in a manner that pleases God.”
3 John 1:6 NLT
https://www.bible.com/116/3jn.1.6.nlt
"I wish
I'd known him." I realized as I sat in the church pew with my coworkers
listening to the dearly departed's grandchildren memorialize. He was
a great guy who lived life well and left a legacy.
Years later, my
"AHA" moment, at a funeral I went to out of respect, challenges my
approach to life. Will my life make a difference? How will I be
remembered?
The third book
of John makes it plain: Love and care for others in a way to bring honor
to God. John complimented the recipients of his letter . He
acknowledged their support of other itinerant servants. John also warns
them to avoid the drama too often created by human selfish pride.
This book
reminds me to serve others so they will not say " I wish I'd known
her" but " God is good and faithful."
Walk away from
selfish pride. Walk in a manner to glorify God.
