1 A debt is something I owe to someone having first received it from them, but in God’s economy, the debt of love is not like that. I don’t owe you love based on the love you have shown me; I owe it to you based on the love God has shown me. My debt is owed to him, but he asks me to pay it to you. I could never repay the incredible love he has lavished on me, but he doesn’t ask me to – what he wants is that I ‘pay it forward’ – that I love others with the same selfless, sacrificial, all-consuming love. And when I do that, I will fulfil all the requirements of the law without even trying. from Daily Bread written by Jennie Pollock on Romans 13 v8-14

2 4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: rejoice
4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 8 And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honourable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. 9 Keep putting into practice all you learned and received from me - everything you heard from me and saw me doing. Then the God of peace will be with you. Philippians 4 v 4-9
