Hebrews 13:1-8

In this passage there are a bunch of concluding remarks. It's more a jumble of wisdom than anything else, but he says a lot here. For one there is a reminder to keep loving each other. We forget that sometimes in the daily grind. Love is an amazing thing if it can be held to. Another piece of advice is to value marriage. Marriage is a much more important contract than we recognize sometimes. It's not just a fairy tale ending, but something that God will judge. We should also be careful with money. Contentment is a wonderful thing. We need to learn to live with God. Meaning that God is more than all we need. He will take care of us as our shepherd. Also he reminds us to remember our leaders. This is also so often forgotten. We get so wrapped up in ourselves that we forget those who are serving us and make our lives what they are. There is so much to be said about this simple advice. We should hold to it as if they are great riches tho. Even the simple advice about marriage is so important. Same with how we treat strangesrs. All of it would do us a lot of good.
