Are you seeking healthy, life long nourishment that feeds your soul?
If so, seek to be filled with kindness. Kindness that not only nourishes you, but nourishes all those around you.
"Your own should is nourished when you are kind, but you destroy yourself when you are cruel." Proverbs 11:17
Jesus clothe us in kindness. May we pour it out just as You have poured it out upon us. Amen

Any of this found in You?
"For people will love only themselves and their money. They will be boastful and proud, scoffing at God, disobedient to their parents, and ungrateful. They will consider nothing sacred. They will be unloving and unforgiving; they will slander others and have no self-control; they will be cruel and have no interest in what is good. They will betray friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride, and love pleasure rather than God. They will act as if they are religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly." 2 Timothy 3:2-5
I have to step aside from Romans and Galatians today and ask you, does this passage describe you? What about your family? Are some of these things weaved in and out of your families life?
Maybe this is not found in you and your husbands home, but what about your immediate family?
This saddens me deeply. It should sadden all of us. This is the complete opposite of what a Christian home and family should be.
We need to pray for our families more. We need to silence the hurtful words with love. We need to remove bitterness and anger with forgiveness.
And as Dax would say, we need to be kind to one another and build each other up.
"Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my thoughts. Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life." Psalm 139:23-24
As He points out to you all that offends Him, place a check by them. Then confess and repent. Once you have done that spend time thanking Him and ask Him to fill you with His love and Word and to keep you accountable.
Jesus You know what every home is like. You know every word that is spoken, every thought and the condition of every heart. If any of this passage is seen within any of our homes, relationships or hearts, show us. Show us in such a powerful way that the conviction becomes more than we can bear. Thus leading us to surrender, confess, and repent. Take any and all pride and humble us Lord. Amen
