Verse for today:
          	
          	Proverbs 27:5
          	"Open rebuke is better than secret love."
          	
          	How do you love your friends? Do they truly love you? Here is a short and somewhat obscure proverb, but it is one you must learn and practice from both directions. Are you a true, loving friend? Do you have loving friends, and do you appreciate the way they love?
          	
          	There are two kinds of friends, shown by rebuke and love and by the following verse (Pr 27:6). One is better than the other, so you must learn and love the good one and reject and despise the bad. Solomon by inspiration of God defined true friendship and love for you.
          	
          	What is open rebuke? It is telling a man his fault personally and directly, whether against you, others, or God. It is open, for you do it to his face, rather than pretending all is well; and it is rebuke, for you reprove his error, rather than flatter with compliments. Open rebuke is not telling others, for unnecessarily telling others is wrong (Pr 25:9; 11:13).
          	
          	Jesus Christ taught this rule (Matt 18:15); James taught it (James 5:19-20); Paul taught it (Gal 6:1-3); and Paul practiced it with Peter, whose fault was public (Gal 2:11-14). True friends, the kind appreciated by the Son of God and His apostles obeyed this proverb.
          	
          	Rebuking a friend for sin is true love, which Moses had taught long before (Lev 19:17). Not correcting him is truly hatred. Charity cannot bear another in sin (I Cor 13:6), as helping them live a holy life is the highest measure of love and friendship (I Sam 23:16).
          	
          	What is secret love? It is showing affection, friendship, and service without the courage or commitment to correct another’s faults. It is secret, for the real character of love – correction – is missing; it is called love sarcastically, for only outward flattery and superficial kindness exist in such a relationship. It is rather and truly hatred (Lev 19:17).

He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.”
          ~John 7:38 NKJV
          
          at ang lahat ng nananalig sa akin ay uminom. Sapagkat sinasabi sa kasulatan, ‘Mula sa puso ng nananalig sa akin ay dadaloy ang tubig na nagbibigay-buhay.’”

Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.  When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.  Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.  Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand.  Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul.  And the hand of the Lord was there upon me; and he said unto me, Arise, go forth into the plain, and I will there talk with thee. 
          Ezekiel 3:17‭-‬22 KJV
