The Family of Christ

 

Those who are kind, benefit themselves, but the cruel bring ruin to themselves. Proverbs 11:17

     This verse promises us a benefit, a blessing from being kind. God’s blessings do come from giving to others. As we move out in loving kindness to others, let’s take care of the family of Christ.

Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those that belong to the family of believers. Galatians 6:10

     As a family of God’s people, we mourn together, we comfort one another, we encourage, we rejoice with one another, we are kind and forgiving and we pray for each other. The Holy Spirit within us will guide us into prayer. God puts special emphasis on His own people

And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. Ephesians 6:18

     As we pray, pray also for those who do not know Jesus. They are waiting to hear the good news and God is waiting for them.

    Father,

We thank You for challenging us this week. Alert us to prayer needs as we dress in our spiritual clothes and rely on You, to grow us in the ways of Jesus.

Amen
