First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you because the news of your faith is being reported in all the world. God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in telling the good news about his Son—that I constantly mention you, always asking in my prayers that if it is somehow in God’s will, I may now at last succeed in coming to you. For I want very much to see you, so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you, that is, to be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith, both yours and mine.
Now I don’t want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters, that I often planned to come to you (but was prevented until now) in order that I might have a fruitful ministry among you, just as I have had among the rest of the Gentiles. I am obligated both to Greeks and barbarians, both to the wise and the foolish. So I am eager to preach the gospel to you also who are in Rome.
Romans 1:8-15 (Christian Standard Bible)
I urge you to pray for all brothers and sisters in Christ. You do not need to know someone to love them as God has asked us. "Love God. Love others." There are followers of Christ all around this world who are not accepted by their society. Wearing a "Jesus Rocks" t-shirt out in public would get a person harmed. There is so much more evil in this world than I can even imagine. Continue in your faith, brothers and sisters, Pray for others. You may be prompted by the Spirit to do something more. Be open to it!
