WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS NOW
“As God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience. Bear with one another and, if anyone has a complaint against another, forgive each other; just as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.”
Joy Is Like the Rain
In and through it all, is Christ, in our midst to bring us peace, safety, and healing. “Peace! Be still!” says Jesus to our winds and storms. Have faith in the ever-present Christ who will never desert you. Sing with the rain drops, dance with the bouncing leaves, smile with the joy that Christ gives to us! Joy is like the rain! With the help of Christ, we can weather the storms and come out with a heart filled with joy.
Who God Is
When someone asks, who is God, it becomes a difficult task to answer. All I can come up with are metaphors or examples from the Bible or my own experiences of God in my life. It is much like trying to take a photo of the wind or attempting to describe electricity. But no one seems to question the fact that there is electricity or wind or a multitude of other difficult to explain phenomena that we daily encounter.
