            ☀️ A.M. 3 John 1:1-8

1 - From the elder, to my dear friend Gaius, whom I love in the truth. 2 Beloved, I pray you prosper in all things and be in health, even as your soul [psychē - soul, mind, life, self, inner being] prospers. 3 It makes me very happy when the Lord's followers come by and mention how you are living in the truth. 4 Nothing brings me greater happiness than to hear that my children (in the faith) are obeying the truth.

     5 Dear friend, you have always been faithful in helping other followers of the Lord, even ones you’ve not met before and don’t know. 6 They have told the church of your love. [Church - ekklésia - from ek - out from and to, and kaléō - to call – called out - from the world - and to God - (called out) assembly.] Saying you welcomed them gladly and sent them on their mission with all that they needed. 7 When they left here to tell others about the Lord, they decided not to accept help from anyone but followers of the Lord. 8 And so it’s good we support such as they, so we can share in their labors!

            🌙 P.M. LUKE 9:46-50

46 - The disciples were arguing about which one of them was the greatest. 47 Jesus knew it, so he had a child come and stand beside him. 48  And he said to them, “When you welcome even a child {showing humbleness of spirit?} because of me, you welcome me. And when you welcome me, you welcome the one who sent me. Whichever one of you is the most humble, that’s the one who is greatest.”

     49 John said, “Master, we saw a man using your name to force demons out of people. But we told him to stop, because he isn't one of us.” 50 “Don't stop him,” Jesus said. “Whoever isn't against you, is for you.”
