ENCOURAGEMENT

A better world doesn’t start with grand gestures—it begins with small decisions rooted in love and respect. The Bible teaches us that love “does not insist on its own way” (1 Corinthians 13:5). When we choose to consider others as well, we reflect the heart of Christ, who laid down His comfort for our sake. Thoughtfulness is godliness in action.
So let’s carry this truth daily: "Whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God" (1 Corinthians 10:31)—and that includes how we treat one another.
