Peter designs a beautiful way to find Christ. Grace upon Grace. John 1:16 visits Peter. And Peter invites his people to engage in the graces made for them. A promise for each one of them. Each one of us. This is the very best we can offer in words and power. Declaring Divine Truth of the Gospel.
Increase.
Persevere.
Add all diligence.
Supply moral excellence.
Find knowledge.
Use self-control.
Work perseverance.
Learn godliness.

Find Love.
Yes, find love for the person who won't change; who won't respond to you; who won't have a conversation with you; who is irritated by most everything you do; who will throw you under the bus. Find love.

COME BOLDLY: Timeless Prayers
Dear Lord of all, How could I increase this very moment? I recogize the unkindness in my own soul, but I'm shunned when I try to respond like You would want me to. I remember hearing one time---don't ask the "how" questions. Oh God, may we surrender and accept whatever it is we are in the middle of. And if you leave us right here, it will be all right. The goal of our hearts is to live out these Christian graces. God will take care of this life of ours---and it may just be right in the middle of what we are going through. Oh God, pour out your grace that we may truly love a little more than we did last hour.
