"One of the most beautiful prayers written by the Apostle Paul is found in Philippians 1:9–10. He doesn’t just pray for comfort or success—he prays that our love would grow deeper, richer, and more insightful. He connects love not only with feeling, but with wisdom and discernment. Paul reminds us that love, when rooted in spiritual understanding, helps us see clearly what truly matters in life. It enables us to choose righteousness over convenience, truth over compromise, and purity over superficiality. His words challenge us: Are we growing in the kind of love that discerns what is excellent? Are we learning to love not just with our hearts, but also with our minds and spirit? In a world filled with distractions, Paul's prayer is timeless: to live with love that is wise, pure, and purposeful—so that we may stand blameless on the day of Christ."

Timothy 1 4:8

"For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me and for the gospel will save it. True life is found not in self-preservation, but in self-giving – for Christ and His message of hope."
