Stay In The Word:

If Jesus could have a conversation with that thief on the cross, why do we sometimes find it hard to relate with prisoners & ex-convicts? Sometime ago, a Counsellor was having a chat with a former prisoner while they both had lunch. She asked him a question, "...but did you do it?" He responded. Her next question was, "What was your state of mind then?" ...See, in life, a small seed you allow to grow can transform into a big tree. And that tree can be positive or negative. Destroy that evil seed before it grows into a big bad tree. Stay in the Word. God bless you. - Martha I. Iyen #MarthasDailyDevotional

Bible Readings:

Matthew 25:36,40 NIV, "I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.' [40] “The King will reply, 'Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.'"

Romans 12:2-3 NIV, "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is---his good, pleasing and perfect will. [3] For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you."
