2 Corinthians 13:11  “I close my letter with these words:  Rejoice.  Change your ways.  Encourage each other.  Live in harmony and peace.  Then the God of love and peace will be with you.”

Rejoice.  Change.  Encourage.  Live.

Paul is saying focus on what is good, change what’s bad, build others up, and live in such a way that people are unified and connected, rather than divided and in conflict.

As I live this way Paul indicates that there will be blessing from God and His presence will be evident in my life.

Lord help me to be more of a rejoicer.  In the good and the bad.  Show me the areas in my life that I need to change and help me to be encouraging those around me.
