“Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves.”

Honoring Each Other

Honor is defined as having high respect or great esteem for others, and especially God.
When my daughter was young she really wanted a dog. Her dad said no to her several times. She began to kneel by her bed each night and prayed asking God to please change her dad’s mind to say yes to a dog.

God And Power in Prayer
Two Things That Are Very Real
