Happy Friday!
Prayer: “Father, thank You for the relationship You
have given me through Your son, Jesus. I know that I was not created to enjoy a
relationship with You apart from fellowship with Your family. Help me to stay
connected in community and experience life-changing relationships with others.
May my life be an inspiration to others to love You more. Make me mindful
throughout this day to pray for my brothers and sisters in Christ. Amen.”
“Not forsaking the assembling of
ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so
much the more as you see the Day approaching.”
Hebrews 10: 25
We are called to
gather together with other believers.
Our salvation is not contingent on us going to church. We are called to
gather together because following Jesus is all about relationships. Being a
Christian is all about having a relationship with God. Following Jesus is all
about a relationship with others. When
we gather in fellowship, service and worship our relationship with God becomes
deeper. It is through our relationship with God that enables us to relate with
others.
“Exhorting” one
another means “to invite to come along.”
When we gather with other believers we experience deeper levels of
intimacy with the Divine. Eternity is
enjoying our relationship with God within the fellowship of God’s family at the
deepest level of intimacy. Our
relationship with God and other believers is like that song says, “a foretaste
of the feast to come.”
Take joy in the
journey. Wear comfortable shoes and get some sleep. Love you all, Bruce, Gaylene, Geni and Travis.
I am not moved by what
I see. I am not moved by what I feel. I am only moved by what I believe and I
believe God.
Prayer Alert: Daddy called today to tell me he has been
diagnosed with severe diabetes. So far
he will be able to change his diet and take oral medication to keep it under
control. Please keep him in your prayers
as he makes these life changes.
Also, tonight I ask
special prayers for Bruce’s brother, Dale.
He is having knee surgery on Tuesday in Memphis. Bruce will be traveling
to be with him and the family. Please
pray for a perfect surgery and for Bruce to have an uneventful trip to Memphis
and safe return home. We so appreciate
your prayers. Thank. Peace, gc
