Here We Go Team

Why love?  John gives us a clear indication of why, because God first loved us, and God is love.  Love is one of those characteristics that makes God so great!  He loved us, he made the first move and he loved us EXACYLY the way we needed to be loved (maybe not the way we thought we should be loved).  As a child of God and as we get to know our Creator and Father, we will begin to reflect the love, and begin to love others the way that we should.  Yesterday we talked about making the first move to reconcile with others, we talked about having the wisdom to love people where they are at, with a love that meets their needs (sometimes not the way they think they should be loved).  

I don't know about you, but all of this takes a tremendous amount of wisdom that I do not posess.  So, if it's all right with you, I may need your advice?  I may need help.  We need one another to encourage us, go guide us in wisdom, to help us out!  We are a team and if we are going to do this right, if we are going to love people the way they should be loved, we are going to need each other.  Take just a few minutes, pray for someone in the church.  Mentally think about the people who sit around you and lift them up in prayer.  Don't be afraid to let them know next time that you see them that you prayed for them.

One last thing, our New Year Resolution:  (Don't forget it)
  • Wiser Decisions
  • Stronger Faith
  • Trusting God More
Have a great week!
