Well the summer is over and I will try to get back into my blogging. What a great Summer:) I hope you all had a wonderful Summer also. Our Redemption Riders Motorcycle Ministry is growing!! Praise God!! We have had many rides and new friends this season, it has been wonderful. During the Fall and Winter months we start our men and women Bible fellowships, and our home fellowships. These fellowships are always great to keep us together, and strong in the Lord. We also make new friends and build on our old friendships. I love this time together:)
Relationships are so important yes? Jesus knew this to be true, He had many friendships with all types of different people. We need to follow his example and be a friend to the unfriendly, and love the unlovable. Bless our enemies, and pray for them.
People can and will be cruel and mean, so we need to respond in love, not react in anger. I know its easy to say and hard to do sometimes. But I know that His Word says we are more than over comers. We can do this because ALL things are possible through Christ who gives us strength! I have come across a few people in my life that have hurt me, and today I can pray for them. I know what that bitterness can do to you, and I do not intend to let Satan have a stronghold on me in that area, or any other for that matter ever again!! So keep in Gods Word daily, and build on your relationships, make new friends, bring them to Christ by showing His love. That's what we are doing this Fall and Winter, how about you? Stay connected in church, Bible studies, small groups, be with people and SHINE:)
God Bless You and Watch Your Corners;
With Love, Deb

ReplyDeleteAWESOME post Deb. Bitterness is definitely a destroyer. Jesus gave us such a wonderful example of living love.
ReplyDeleteI was listening to a preacher the other day and what he said made a huge impact on me... He said.. love like you have never been hurt.. It went right to my heart and took up residence in my spirit man...... That is what Jesus did.. HE loved like HE had never been hurt.... it is something that we can strive for....
ReplyDeleteLove..... it never fails.....
