The Truth That Is In You

The Elder,

To the beloved Gaius, whom I love in truth:

Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers. For I rejoiced greatly when brethren came and testified of the truth that is in you, just as you walk in the truth. I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.

Beloved, you do faithfully whatever you do for the brethren and for strangers, who have borne witness of your love before the church. If you send them forward on their journey in a manner worthy of God, you will do well, because they went forth for His name’s sake, taking nothing from the Gentiles. We therefore ought to receive such, that we may become fellow workers for the truth.

3 John 1:1-8

We all have known people that open themselves and their homes to us. They are special people.

Then a part of that family dies, and we go to the memorial service. It can be a joyful occasion filled with people still walking the road of faith – all because of that family that opened their doors and hearts to someone else. Would you do the same, open your doors and your heart to help others find the Lord?

Be a voice of encouragement to someone today.
