Daily Encouragement: Day 150

From Handbook to Wisdom, Day 150 (Wisdom)

CONSIDER THE GOOD OF OTHERS

We who are strong ought to bear the weaknesses
of those who are not strong, and not to please ourselves.
Each of us should please his neighbor for his good,
to build him up.
(Romans 15:1–2)

No one should seek his own good,
but the good of others.
(1 Corinthians 10:24)

Father, because You have given me an unchanging foundation for identity, significance, and worth, may I embrace this truth and act upon it by serving others rather than using them. May I bear the weaknesses of others and desire to serve others by seeking their good. Since You have sought my good, I have been liberated to do the same for others. Amen.
