Jan 3 Lunchtime meditation
Amber read 3 John last night, so I figured I’d go over it a bit at lunch so we could talk about it. Verse 4 really struck me:
have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth
I sincerely pray my ministry reflects this: Not only having spiritual children, and not only having them walk in the truth, but having that as my greatest joy.
Against that is the bad example of Diotrephes, found in verses 9 and 10. He loves to be the one in charge and in view, speaks nonsense against church leaders, and will not support missionaries. I pray I will never be guilty of such things, lest someone like John come along and point out my misdeeds before all.
