Title : Take Care of yourself Spiritually

A)Forgiveness.

Matthew 6:14
¹⁴For if you forgive men when they sin against you,　your heavenly Father will also forgive you. ¹⁵But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.

*Forgiveness is a choice-

Romans 12:19-21
¹⁹Do　not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," says the Lord. ²⁰On the contrary: If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head." ²¹Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good."

B.)Confession of Sin.

1 John 1:9
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

James 5:16
Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed.

C.)Sharing Jesus

Matthew 28:19
¹⁹Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and of the Holy Spirit. ²⁰and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I will be with you always, to the very end of the age.

Samaritan woman

John 4:34
My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work...

D.)Worship

Ephesians5:18-20
¹⁸Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit. ¹⁹Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, ²⁰always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

The reason we exist in this world is to glorify God and enjoy him forever.

Mark 12:41-44
⁴¹Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put and watched the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. Many rich people threw in large amounts. ⁴²But a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a fraction of a penny. ⁴³Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, "I tell you the truth, this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others. ⁴⁴They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything—all she had to live on.

Take Care of All of You!!

1 Kings 19:1-9
¹Now Ahab told Jezebel everything Elijah had done and how he had killed all the prophets with the sword. ²So Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah to say, "May the gods deal with me, be it ever so severely, if by this time tomorrow I do not make you life like that of one of them."　³Elijah was afraid and ran for his life. When he came to Beershiba in Judah, he left his servant there, ⁴While he himself went a day's journey into the desert. He came to a broom tree, sat down under it and prayed that he might die. "I have had enough, Lord," he said. "Take my life; I am no better than my ancestors." ⁵Then he lay down under the tree and fell asleep. All at once an angel touched him and said, "Get up and eat." ⁶He looked around, and there by his head was a cake of bread baked over hot coals, a jar of water. He ate and drank and lay down again.⁷The angel of the Lord came back a second time and touched him and said, "Get up and eat for the Journey is too much for you." ⁸So he got up ate and drank. Strengthened by the food, he traveled 40 days and forty nights until he reached Horeb, the mountain of God. ⁹There he went into a cave and spent the night.
