The Word of God for wisdom:
Proverbs 17:9 (NLT)
9 Love prospers when a fault is forgiven, but dwelling on it separates close friends.
The Word of God for inspiration:
Psalm 134:1-3 (HCSB)
1 Now praise the LORD, all you servants of the LORD who stand in the LORD's house at night!
2 Lift up your hands in the holy place and praise the LORD!
3 May the LORD, Maker of heaven and earth, bless you from Zion.
The Word of God for encouragement:
Acts 10:43-44 (HCSB)
43 All the prophets testify about Him that through His name everyone who believes in Him will receive forgiveness of sins."
44 While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit came down on all those who heard the message.
My observation:
Wouldn't you like to be in a worship service when something like this happened like the event that takes place while Peter was preaching?
This is what happens when the Holy Spirit of God is welcomed when we gather to have church. When God shows up, he shows up in power, and love and amazing grace shows up with him.
Peter didn't get to finish his sermon. The Spirit of God gave those who heard the gospel the gift of faith. By faith, they believed in Jesus, and God saved them just as Peter said he would.
Isn't grace amazing, and God is so great, and so good.
My prayer:
Our Father in heaven, my dear Father, I am so grateful that the grace of God found me when I was lost and undone in this world; without hope and without God in my life. What a God, and what a Savior we have in Jesus. Praise the Lord! Amen.

8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come on you, and you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."
