14. 1 Peter 4:7 (The Message)
Everything in the world is about to be wrapped up, so take
nothing for granted. Stay wide-awake in prayer. Most of all,
love each other as if your life depended on it. Love makes up
for practically anything. Be quick to give a meal to the
hungry, a bed to the homeless—cheerfully. Be generous with
the different things God gave you, passing them around so
all get in on it: if words, let it be God's words; if help, let it be
God's hearty help. That way, God's bright presence will be
evident in everything through Jesus, and he'll get all the
credit as the One mighty in everything—encores to the end
of time. Oh, yes!
