James 4:17, CSB

So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin.
James 4:17, ESV
God has shown us what is right, but we must still obey and act.
Love does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.
1 Corinthians 13:6, ESV
We can feel self-righteous when we see others messing up and sinning, or we can find ways to justify sin. Love, however, obeys God and rejoices when we do well and right.
Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
Romans 13:10, ESV
We strive to do what is best for our neighbors (anyone). The world tries to say it means no pain, but sometimes what is best comes through pain: like hearing you are in need of salvation.
The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
Lamentations 3:22-23, ESV
With all that is evil and wrong in this world, we can trust our faithful and loving God who controls and guides everything according to His will.
The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple; the precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes
Psalm 19:7-8, ESV
Our conscience confirms, the history and theology revealed in the Bible – the command to love God and others – states plainly there is right and wrong. Following God’s Law is what brings us true joy and salvation.
IT IS MOTHERS’ DAY! HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!

The poem today is also fitting, as it talks about walking the right way. Parents are supposed to help guide their children, and that is exactly what God wishes to do with all of those adopted through the blood of His Son, Jesus Christ.
just off the path
they call it the straight and narrow
but just how well can we follow
what if in all of our attempts
just to the right or the left
is where it turns out we have
been in relation to the path
what if while we have been talking
with those with whom we are walking
only to come to realize
that our half truths are still lies
not really following Christ
but being just to the left or right
instead of walking just off the path
we should have our thoughts recast
we should line up our lives
with His loving heart and mind
to remain on the path of God
we must watch where our minds trod
we must study the scriptures
and look to our Savior
break bread with one another
and help our needy brothers
we need to pray continually
and praise our God Almighty
to stay on the Path of our King
we need to give Him everything
