objectives and hope

1 Peter 2:13-5:14, Jude 1:1-16

4:7The end of all things is near. Therefore be clear minded and self-controlled so that you can pray. 8Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. 9Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. 10Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms. 11If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of God. If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.

5:10And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. 11To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen.

Prayer
Heavenly Father, I sense the imminence of Christ's return, and I pray that I will live a holy and righteous life that honors you and leads others to know you, love you, and express you.  I trust that it is your good will and pleasure to do so.  May I humbly submit to your will.  I pray this in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
