Ideas for honoring Your pastor from your PastorCare Team.

"Oh Lord, I am oppressed, under take for me!" – Isiah 38:14

“Examine yourselves, to see whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Or do you not realize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?” – 2 Corinthians 13:5

“I have become its servant by the commission God gave me to present to you the word of God in its fullness— the mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations, but is now disclosed to the Lord’s people..."

Today, Lord, open my eyes to see how You see a person rather than from my often faulty perspective.  May Your perspective when I see it transform how I relate to people.

“Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?” Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭18‬:‭21‬-‭22‬ ‭NIV‬‬

In Christ Jesus I am led by the Spirit and as such oppose all things of the flesh which come against the Spirit. I desire to walk in the ways of Christ and be led by Your Holy Spirit, Lord. Help me today to sort out, identify and come to grips with my fleshly ways clamoring to get their way and seeking to keep me from walking and growing according to Your Spirit in Jesus’ name.

As I serve the Lord today, Let my focus and my trust be in God's ways and understanding which leads to peace and all that comes with it, and less and less in my ways which seem to never achieve their goal. 

Let’s keep forgiveness in the forefront in all we do as we minister today and this week. May we remember that the way we forgive others demonstrates how we receive forgiveness. This is a very sobering fact that we often forget. Enjoy living in God's wonderful grace!

Today, let God's grace and power flow through you to share God's Gospel of reconciliation and love to a person who needs to hear it.
