JANUARY 2020 | One In Christ's Vision
Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6 NIV We all have our goals and dreams, bucket lists and to-do lists, envisioned life and future. Those are well and good, but have we stopped to think if those are what the Lord wants for us? Before we plan for the year, let us first consider His plans. Because while our plans are good, His are perfect. Besides, none of us has a view of what lies ahead; Jesus does. And not only does He see the future, He holds it. |

FEBRUARY 2020 | One In Christ's Heart❤️
A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another. John 13:34-35 NIV If we would follow the trail of Jesus’ footsteps, these are what we would see: from heaven to earth... towards the sick, the poor, the weak, and the outcast... among the vilest of sinners... all the way to the Cross, to Calvary, to the grave. Why? Because Jesus’ heart beats for souls. To the point of leaving heaven and becoming like man… to the point of taking the sins of humankind and with that, the wrath of the Father… to the point of going through the agony of the crucifixion and succumbing to the hands of death—just so we could be reconciled to the Father. If such is the depth and extent of Jesus’ heart for souls, how about ours? If we claim to be one in Christ, do our hearts also beat for souls? Up to what extent? Are we willing to be inconvenienced by others? To sacrifice for others? |
