Memory Verse Week 47

I have found several good verses to memorize from Hebrews, like the verse from last week. Have you ever found yourself with bitterness growing inside? It really does cause so much trouble. Sometimes it just sneaks in and we don't realize it but it has a tendency to grow and fester. Then it causes real damage. Kinda like a big weed that keeps showing up in your garden. We need to turn these weeds of bitterness over to God and seek forgiveness and reconciliation rather than let them eat away at us.


This week's verse is found in I Peter 4:10, 11


"Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms."

OH, so true! That bitterness can creep in there so fast and take over if we let it. So thankful we have God's Word to turn to in those times.

Have a great week!
