Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. -1Peter 4:8
1 Thessalonians 5:12
12 And we urge you, brethren, to recognize those who labor among you, and are over you in the Lord and admonish you, 13 and to esteem them very highly in love for their work’s sake. Be at peace among yourselves.
14 Now we exhort you, brethren, warn those who are unruly, comfort the fainthearted, uphold the weak, be patient with all. 15 See that no one renders evil for evil to anyone, but always pursue what is good both for yourselves and for all.
16 Rejoice always, 17 pray without ceasing, 18 in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
19 Do not quench the Spirit. 20 Do not despise prophecies. 21 Test all things; hold fast what is good. 22 Abstain from every form of evil.

Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in this matter. 1 Peter 4:16
You sin? God forgives.
You worry? God's in control.
You're empty? God restores.
You're alone? God is with you.
You worry? God's in control.
You're empty? God restores.
You're alone? God is with you.
Proverbs 12
He who loves instruction loves perception,
But he who hates correction is without discernment.
He who finds grace from the Lord becomes better,
But a lawless man will be passed over in silence.
A man will not prosper by lawlessness,
But the roots of righteous men will not be pulled out.
A courageous wife is a crown to her husband,
But as a worm in a tree, so an evildoing wife destroys her husband.
The thoughts of the righteous are judgments,
But the ungodly devise deceits.
The words of the ungodly are deceitful,
But the mouth of the upright shall deliver them.
If he does not turn, an ungodly man is destroyed,
But the houses of the righteous remain.
The mouth of a man of understanding is praised by a man,
But the slothful of heart are treated with contempt.

1 John 2:4
He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him. He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked

Fruit of the Spirit
Galatians 5:22-25
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. 24 And those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.
