As we walk side-by-side with one another, even from afar, we are still given opportunity to speak hope and life into the lives of the people around us, to remind them of the deep truths of the Gospel, and to remind one another of the great love of Jesus.
It would do us well to be aware of our usual exchanges for safety because to battle the darkness — to actively walk in and follow the Light — we must choose it above all else.
To hold both the broken pieces and the eternal perspective in tension at the Cross…this is the way. This is the way we see God’s glory underneath all of the stuff the world throws at us. – Christie Lacy
The relationships we enter into with the people in our communities are meant for us, but are ultimately created to serve our sovereign God for His glory and kingdom. We need to understand that our God who holds all things together, placed us all here together for a specific purpose: for all of His sons and daughters to be etched and chiseled into the image of His Son.
