Be a loving witness

Today's word: 2 Peter 1:5-9

5For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; 6and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; 7and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. 8For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9But if anyone does not have them, he is nearsighted and blind, and has forgotten that he has been cleansed from his past sins.

How about you?
Have you experienced persecution for being a Christian? Be sure your attitudeis right. Don't be afraid to witness for Christ, but do it out of love, not pride. Check to see if the qualities listed in today's scripture can be seen in your witness. Don't be "pushy".

To memorize: 1 Peter 3:17
It is better, if it is God's will, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil
