3 john 1:13 I had many things to write, but I will not with ink and pen write unto thee:
14 But I trust I shall shortly see thee, and we shall speak face to face. Peace be to thee. Our friends salute thee. Greet the friends by name.
John in these last two verses says that he does not need to write anymore because he is going to come in person. Today a lot of people do not write letters to their friends and christian brethren because of the use of cell phones and email. We should try to write to the ones we love on regular basis, because believe it or not it would mean a lot to them if they can see you in person. He ends with saying to greet your friends by name, and that is good because people like to here their name called. Whenever you are in an establishment where people name badges try to see what their name is and call them by name as you leave and see what a difference it makes in them. We need to be more aware of the people we come in contact with each and see how God can use us to brighten their day.
