Today's encouragement comes from Psalm 16:3, where we read these words from David’s pen:
“As for the saints in the land, they are the excellent ones, in whom is all my delight.” (ESV)
The older I got, the more I realized that the truly “beautiful” people, the genuinely “interesting” souls, and the sincerely “lovely" human beings all share one common trait: they all love God in Jesus Christ; and they all love the church and gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Everyone else is “average,” “ordinary,” “pedestrian.” But some of them are also elect unto glory in Jesus—and we are to bring the good news to all of them, in sincere love.
