Edifying one another
We know that we are encouraged to edify one another. It is sometimes a rare thing, on a forum such as this, to see it happen. Frequently, such forums revolve around debates and disagreements.
I offer a counter-balance.
What I am seeking is the following:
If interested, please share something that the Holy Spirit brings to your attention on a regular basis, that, in prayer, causes your inner man and spirit to be edified. It may be a verse of Scripture, a doctrinal truth, something more personal regarding your relationship with God, etc.
I should like to read how God communicates His grace and love to you. Perhaps you would like to read the same from me?
So, with that in mind, I will go first.
Two things always come to mind almost every time I pray. The first is the following:
"The Lord is good and His mercy endures forever."
It seems to be a constant reminder for me to never forget, no matter what else is happening, or how I might otherwise complain or get a bad attitude about life, to stop before such negativity overflows and ruins the joy God wants me as His child, to have. It helps me remember that though I have not seen, yet I am blessed because I believe.
The second is not a verse per se, but rather, just to be grateful and to express that gratitude in prayer through thanksgiving for not only what the Lord has done, but also Who He is. I know I'm not the only low-born hopeless loser God ever saved, but by giving Him verbals thanks, it's my way, I suppose, of never forgetting the moment God rescued me.
Ok. Now it's your turn...
