Good Morning Worshippers! May we enter His courts with and praise! May He inhabit our praises. Amen!
Listen to Me. Delight in God's Living Word. Believe (Our mission). We are Gods instruments. We are overcomers and faithful followers of Jesus! There are the first sentences of our devos . What a message to embrace and live well as we learn to live and love more like Jesus--dying to self as an act of worship and obedience and allow God to work in and through and to use us for His glory and purposes. Amen!.
I had a great day home . But I need to sleep and rest and chill at home . I' be praying for you and praising too! What brings you a thankful heart and joyful spirit? Do those things this week as you surrender and grow in Christ, He really does have some great plans and purposes that He is already weaving together, Yes rejoice as you die to self and follow Jesus into this week! Invite Him to use you as you are and to grow you into your fuller potential. Amen! Now for a nap and some abiding in Christ.
Shalom shalom!

UR: God's instrument
You are the light of the world. A city on top of a hill can’t be hidden. - Matthew 5:14 (CEB)
The disturbing events in our world challenge us to reflect on our Christian calling and identity. We cannot deny the suffering and injustice around the world and in our own communities. War, gun violence, and other forms of attack are ever-present. People continue to risk their lives to escape harsh conditions in the places they call home. We cannot ignore tensions among family members and friends due to our competing priorities.
All these are reflections of our broken world. And w
ouldn’t our silence in the face of such pain be a betrayal of our calling to be God’s instruments of peace, justice, and healing? God has called us to let Christ’s light shine where darkness prevails, and that doesn’t necessarily mean that we must do something big. Our smallest acts of kindness can bring healing to a broken heart. Our honest prayers can be a source of strength for others. Our simplest acts of courage can bring justice to our communities. Let us discover the ways God is calling us to serve and intentionally strive to walk in the footsteps of Jesus.
's Prayer
Dear heavenly Father, thank you for calling us to be your servants in the world. Help us to live according to Christ’s teachings. Amen.
