Do everything in love. 1 Corinthians 16:14
“Whenever you can, speak of love and with love to someone. It’s good to the ears of those who hear and to the soul of those who speak.”
Irma Dulce Lopes Pontes (1914-1992).
I resonate with this quote by Pontes. My centering prayer before speaking is this: “Father in heaven, fill me with your Spirit and love to speak truth in love.” I have prayed this with my team and translator repeatedly this week.
By God’s grace the trip is going good. It’s actually going beyond all imagination in Brazil. Stay tuned for a trip report to illustrate this. In the meantime, I must ask. With whom can act generously by speaking with love?
