today i went along to one of the local church services.... it was the first time that i had been to that church and i knew noone there. I had a really good time... it was easy to see that this church was a part of God's Church, for i got there at 10.30am for their service, i was welcomed with a smile, then introduced to someone else my age. After the service i enjoyed lunch with them and nearly everyone there introduced themselves to me, then played indoor cricket, pool and a little bit of basketball (all in their main hall). They included me, and it was coming naturally to them.... and they were genuine about it.
How often do we include people into our circles, churches and anything that we are doing....
And how often are we genuine about it.
You see that is exactly what Christ did... He included those that were on the fringe, the people that didn't know anyone, the people that were different to the "norm" or more like what is seen as the "norm". Christ loves everyone....
We are called to love and accept everyone like Christ... and the only way that we are able to do that is by accepting Christ love for us... and allowing that love of Christ to flow through us....
Christ gives us the ability to love others because of His love for us, you see we don't deserve this love... But Christ chooses to love us... He wants to love us.... and it is by His grace that we have a relationship with Christ and recieve that love....
Jesus thankyou for Your love for me, help me to see everyone one the way that you see them and love them like You do.... Amen
