Today’s Scripture: Matthew 5:48 ESV: You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect. As a young boy I found this verse in a moment of extreme nervousness before a church play.

Today’s Scripture: for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure. Philippians 2:13 ESV Do we really grasp how God is working in us now?
