If your gift is to encourage others,
be encouraging.
If it is giving,
give generously.
If God has given you leadership ability,
take the responsibility seriously.
And if you have the gift of showing kindness to others,
do it gladly.
Romans 12:8
Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love?
Does it mean he no longer loves us
if we have trouble or calamity,
or are persecuted,
or hungry,
or destitute
or in danger,
or threatened with death?
No, despite all these things,
overwhelming victory is ours through Christ,
who loved us.
Romans 8:35, 37
