Learn to value their existence and never forget that they are also…

Romans 12:9, NIV
Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Romans 12: 9, NIV Do not choose to love just because God asks you to do it. Instead, be sincere.

Follow God’s commandments, and let His instructions be your guide. Hold on to what is good.

Then some began to spit at him; they blindfolded him, struck him with their fists, and said, “Prophesy!” And the guards took him and beat him. Mark 14: 65, NIV Jesus Christ suffered even though He is perfect and pure. He was beaten without justifiable reason. He endured the pain because He wanted to please God and save us from hell. That’s how great and awesome His love is. Imagine, He offered His life so we can spend eternity with Him. No human being can do it. We even find it difficult to serve others because we tend to expect something in return. But our Savior never leaves us alone.…

We are called to serve others
Jesus called them together and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. Not so with you.
