When we fill our minds with a determination to follow the Lord and are diligent in godly disciplines of reading the Bible and prayer, God's love and power is reflected in our lives. One of the ways is through the way we love:
- With Full Strength Love - By giving all that we have. Loving completely and giving completely of ourselves.
- With Forgiving Love - Love which covers a multitude of sins through loving each other and having a heart ready to forgive.
- With Family Love - Having a heart ready to welcome and make a place for others. Desiring to make others feel comfortable and welcome at church.
This love expands into our actions as we begin to live a life with grateful service. God has equipped us with talents and abilities. God saved us to serve. You may have heard before(!!), We are not saved to Sit, Soak and Sour! There are numerous opportunities to serve in our church. Practical places to serve - nursery, kitchen helpers and all the way to leadership opportunities - Sunday School Director or Vacation Bible School Director. May we be encouraged and open to ask the Lord where He would have us to serve Him.
When our minds are focused and our hearts are committed, acts of service will freely flow.
