1 Peter 5:5-7 We are called to be humble, toward one another and toward God. Humility is not a sign of weakness, but the gratefully received grace of God and passing it on to others.

Ephesians 5:14-17 Be careful when following the path towards Christ Apostle Paul warned us to be careful in life, he told us to be wise and to make the most out of every opportunity.
