Philippians 4:8 (a note)

This scripture tells us to think on whatever is true, noble, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, and praiseworthy. Teachers, including myself encourage people to think on these things for their own good, And that is appropriate.

But the is an added benefit when we think on these things. Because we are more positive, more aware of God’s goodness, we are more prepared to encourage our brothers and sisters. We don’t have to work to be a positive influence. We are naturally a positive influence,

This note is to remind us all that though scriptures are for our personal good, they are for transforming us so we can more easily do good for others. We are part of a Community of Love and Grace.
