Gwinnett CPA Presents 7 Bridges to Recovery…Taking Christianity Into the World

Serving the Lost, the Last & the Least

Hey everyone! Here is the word for the week. God’s Embrace Romans 12:3-11. Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another -Romans 12:10. Soon after her family left for the evening, Carol started to think that her hospital room must be the loneliest place in the world. Nighttime had fallen, her fears about her illness were back, and she felt overwhelming despair as she lay there alone.

     Closing her eyes, she began to talk to God: “O Lord, I know I am not really alone. You are here with me. Please calm my heart and give me peace. Let me feel Your arms around me, holding me.”

     As she prayed, Carol felt her fears beginning to subside. And when she opened her eyes, she looked up to see the warm, sparkling eyes of her friend Marge, who reached out to encircle her in a big hug. Carol felt as if God Himself were holding her tightly.

     God often uses fellow believers to show us His love. “We, being many, are one body in Christ….Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them” (Rom. 12:5-6) We serve others “with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ” (1 Peter 4:11).

     When we show love and compassion in simple, practical ways, we are a part of God’s ministry to His people. 

     Teach me to love, this is my prayer

  May the compassion of Thy heart I share;

       Ready a cup of water to give,

  May I unselfishly for others live.  

We show our love for God when we love His family. 

Yours truly, Pastor 7. GO JESUS GO JESUS GO!
LOVE, Pastor7
