Encouragement!

Philippians 4:5

Let everyone see that you are considerate in all you do. Remember, the Lord is coming soon.

Ultimate joy comes from Christ dwelling within us. Christ is near, and when His second coming comes, we will fully realize this ultimate joy. He who lives within us will fulfill His final purposes for us. We are to be considerate (reasonable, fair-minded, and charitable) toward those outside the church, not just toward fellow believers.  This means we are not to seek revenge against those who treat us unfairly, nor are we to be overly vocal about our personal rights.
