O // OBSERVATION
Why did this verse get your attention? Make a simple observation from the text
John was sharing affirmation with his dear friend Gaius. As a spiritual elder, John affirmed his growth in the Lord and his faithful living.
In these verses John commends how Gaius treats others, whether they are brothers in the Lord or not. He receives them and sends them on their way “in a manner worthy of the Lord”.
A // APPLICATION
How can I apply this to my life today?
Everyone I meet is on a journey. When I encounter them it is my opportunity to treat them in a manner worthy of the Lord.
Every encounter is significant. Every encounter is meaningful.
Does my interaction with people help them on their journey? Are they better off because of my touch on their life? Or do I add to their struggle.
P // PRAYER
Express yourself in prayer
Jesus, I need Your wisdom, discernment and grace in every encounter today. Amen.
