Think on what is lovely. Let God direct your mind to what is truly lovely
in this world. At the very least that tree, flower, and blade of grass that He
made and you saw today is lovely. Let Him influence your thoughts every day

the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom. (Col. 3:16) There will be
an overflow of lovely thoughts pour from your mind. Think about how encouraging
to others that would be. Think lovely thoughts.
Christianity is much more than just Sunday morning. In fact it’s an everyday focus, "pick up your cross daily" Christ said ( Luke 9:23 ). Because of that everyday race running the assembling of the saints should be what we look forward to ( Heb. 12:1-2, 10:25 ). It's the one place we can be around those we are in fellowship with that are seeking to achieve the same goal, Heaven. A place to be rejuvenated, to mature, and to worship God. A reason why you should be seeking such assembling's of the saints and excited to be a part of it is that there is nothing else like it. You were made one of them when you were immersed into Christ.

Who live in the world the way you do ( Matt. 5:13-16 ). Who desire to be like Christ like you do ( Phil. 2:5; 1 John 2:6 ). Most importantly ...
