prayer judging joy
My earnest prayer is that you will have the courage required to refrain from judging others, the courage to be chaste and virtuous, and the courage to stand firm for truth and righteousness. As you do so, you will be ‘an example of the believers’ (1 Timothy 4:12), and your life will be filled with love and peace and joy.

I like this thought: Your mind is a cupboard, and you stock the shelves.

Such shelves could well be stocked with gospel scholarship, faith, prayer, love, service, obedience, example, and kindness
