We urge you, brothers and sisters, warn those who are idle and disruptive, encourage the disheartened, help the weak, be patient with everyone. - 1 Thessalonians 5:14 (NIV)

I have been involved in prison ministry since 2016. Once I received an email from a woman in federal prison that said, “The Christmas celebration with you guys was incredible. It made me feel like I mattered.” I was stunned by the second sentence. I thought, Of course you matter!...

Today's Prayer
Dear Lord, help us to reach out to others with words and acts of kindness, encouragement, support, and love so that they will know how much they matter to you. Amen.
