Today's Scripture
You can’t depend on an unreliable person when you really need help. It can be compared to biting down on an abscessed tooth or walking with a sprained ankle. When you sing a song of joy to someone suffering in the deepest grief and heartache, it can be compared to disrobing in the middle of a blizzard or rubbing salt in a wound. Is your enemy hungry? Buy him lunch. Win him over with your kindness. Your surprising generosity will awaken his conscience and God will reward you with favor. As the north wind brings a storm, saying things you shouldn’t brings a storm to any relationship.
Proverbs 25:19-23

Today's Thought
Relationships are the currency of life, so choose them wisely… Not every relationship is the same, even Jesus had levels of relationships. Don’t let everyone in too fast, too close, or too soon. Make them qualify for longevity before you even enter in.

Today's Confession
Father, thank you for helping me qualify the relationships around me. I thank you, Lord, for the patience and the wisdom to pursue the right relationships with the right people. Thank you for helping me stay the course and keep all of my relationships in the right place!
