Show Courtesy To All People
TITUS 3:2 GWN 2 Believers shouldn't curse anyone or be quarrelsome, but they should be gentle and show courtesy to everyone.
When we fail to show courtesy to all people the reason is always the same: pride. We think we are better than they are. Otherwise we would treat them with respect and courtesy.
But remember that true Christianity is not based on keeping a set of rules (such as: show courtesy to all people). Instead it is a relationship with God through being united with Jesus Christ. With His life in us, we can and should act differently.
When our mind is renewed to the truth, we realize the life and love of God is inside our hearts after we receive Jesus. As we allow that inner life to dominate, we will fulfill the will of God by doing what the Bible says we should do.
So it is going to take more than a decision and will-power for you to always show courtesy to all people. You will need God working in and through you for it to happen.
One thing you can do is ask the Lord to show you how He sees people. When you realize how much God loves people and how precious they are to Him, you will be much less likely to mistreat them.
TITUS 3:1 GWN 1 Remind believers to willingly place themselves under the authority of government officials. Believers should obey them and be ready to help them with every good thing they do.
This verse, which comes just before the one we started with above, says to "remind believers" to do these things. It is not a law we must keep in order to be right with God or to have God love us. Instead it is what we should be becoming as we grow in Christ by allowing His life and love to dominate and flow through us. It's a matter of maturing and growing up. Just as we grow up as physical beings, we also must grow up as spiritual beings.
TITUS 3:3-7 GWN 3 Indeed, we, too, were once stupid, disobedient, and misled. We were slaves to many kinds of lusts and pleasures. We were mean and jealous. We were hated, and we hated each other. 4 However, when God our Savior made his kindness and love for humanity appear, 5 he saved us, but not because of anything we had done to gain his approval. Instead, because of his mercy he saved us through the washing in which the Holy Spirit gives us new birth and renewal. 6 God poured a generous amount of the Spirit on us through Jesus Christ our Savior. 7 As a result, God in his kindness has given us his approval and we have become heirs who have the confidence that we have everlasting life.
God is working in us! Living the Christian life is not just a matter of will-power and dedication. It is yielding to God and trusting in Him. We must decide to yield to God's will, for God never forces us, but we can't make it happen by ourselves.
PHILIPPIANS 2:13 NLT 13 For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him.
SAY THIS: Lord help me to see people as you see them, and to treat them as you would treat them.

Meeting You Where You Are?
Daily Bible Verse & Prayer
Today's Verse - Matthew 25:21
"His master replied, 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!' "
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
We want it all now! Or, at least most of us do. We don't want to have to wait for anything. But God has a vital principle: he will only entrust us with much only after we have been faithful with a little. Patience is not just a virtue important to God; patience is a necessity to be faithful to God as he fashions us for greater service! So let's not discount our moral choices about "small and inconsequential matters." How we handle those kinds of things as we patiently "wait for the blessed hope — the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ" (Titus 3:13) is essential. How we handle these during our times of waiting reveals who we are and often determines who we become.
My Prayer...
Holy and Righteous Father, please give me wisdom to discern the way of faithfulness and righteousness in all my dealings. I want to demonstrate proper patience as I am faithful in the small things, so that you can also entrust me with your larger things that matter more to the Kingdom. Please purify my heart and use my gifts and actions to bring you glory, both now in my times of waiting and later when I experience the full measure of your plans for me. In Jesus' name, I ask this. Amen.

My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Few things are more precious than knowing that on the night he was betrayed, Jesus not only prayed for his first disciples, but also for us who have come to believe because of their testimony! So often, we read the words of John 17:1-26 and study them as a prayer for Jesus' apostles in the upper room. However, if we examine this prayer closely, we see that Jesus also prays for us, for you and me, who believe in Jesus because of the apostles' message. He knew us, looked forward to us being his disciples, and prayed for us on the night he was betrayed. And, dear friend of the Savior, the LORD wants us to be one! He wants us to live with the same unity, purpose, and character of God that he, as the Son, did. If we do not live and love in unity, then how will the world know that God sent his Son? Notice how Jesus ties our unity to the world, knowing the Father sent him — John 17:21, 23. How will they know what to believe? How will they find Jesus as their Savior? We must be one!
My Prayer...
Father, forgive us, change us, and help us see what is most important in our lives as your disciples. Break down the barriers that divide us into different religious groups and help us find unity around the One who matters most to all of us, Jesus. It is in his name that we pray for us to be one, just as our Savior prayed on the night he was betrayed. Amen.

But now, this is what the LORD says — he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: "Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine."
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
We belong to the LORD, God of all creation, and the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. We are his (1 Peter 2:9-10). We are recipients of God's grace and are blessed by his love for Israel's fathers, along with physical Israel (Romans 11:28). We don't have to fear because God is in control of our future, just as he worked through the history of his chosen people to send the Messiah. God will accompany us through the difficult trials we will face. He will make sure our redemption is realized. Why? Because we belong to him. We are his. He knows us. He formed us. God's people are his possession forever. We are children of the almighty and the eternal God!

My Prayer...
Almighty and Sovereign LORD — God of our fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob — we praise you for your faithfulness to your promises. We thank you for your redemptive work through many generations. We deeply appreciate you sending your Son and our Messiah to redeem us. We praise you for inspiring the Scriptures to teach us your truth. Please know that we are deeply grateful for the blessing of belonging to you and for knowing that we can trust our future with you. Please bless us, your people, with an awe-filled sense of your abiding presence and use us to bring you glory. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
