Can you think of some things to be thankful for?

May we all shout and sing for joy because of these things!

To really serve someone is an invitation from Jesus to meet that person in their present & particular need. It could look like a lot of different things - be open to all kinds of opportunities. Additionally, as we build a relationship with someone, there will be a chance to share about yourself. Telling any story well is an art! Jesus has done something amazing in all of our faith

There are some really important things that will pave the way for us as believers to truly ‘bless’ someone. Pray for interactions with them; Listen to them and learn; Eat together.

Having faith in Jesus does not in any way make us sinless, but rather the recipient of God’s promises, his special favor and of grace, knowledge, self-control, patience and endurance - all the things that lead us closer to Him and to a more genuine love fo

Psalm 51 recounts the desperate condition of David's heart after his sin with Bathsheba. "Have mercy on me, O God, because of your unfailing love. Because of your great compassion, blot out the stain of my sins." vs. 1 David is crying out to God, confessing all his shame and regret. Because he knows God intimately, he also knows God hears him and forgives him. Do you know God like

God had a good plan (an amazing plan, actually). He spoke into being the heavens, the sea & the sky, the land and all the animals. It was filled with beautiful and wondrous things.
