Gedanken zum Vers des Tages
Ich habe einen an Jesus glaubenden Freund, der mir zeigte, welche Macht das Teilen eines geistlichen Segens mit anderen hat. Ich kann mir keinen besseren Segen vorstellen, als den in diesem knappen Vers von heute ausgedrückten Segen! Gnade, Liebe und Gemeinschaft — alles verwurzelt in dem ewigen, aufopfernden und gnädigen Wesen unseres Gottes. Wir teilen diese Segnungen auf der ganzen Welt mit den Kindern Gottes.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
I have a friend in Jesus who has taught me the power of sharing a spiritual blessing with others. We share a conviction: Many times in life, ministry, and trial, people need way "more than my words"! Oh, for sure, they do need to hear from me. But my words are earthbound and relatively unproven. The Scriptures, however, are full of proven, inspired, and powerful blessings and prayers. They are way "more than my words"! Which brings us to today's verse. I can't think of a better blessing that is way "more than my words" than this short blessing from the apostle Paul: grace, love, and fellowship, all rooted in the eternal, sacrificial, and gracious nature of our God, are captured in this one short and amazing blessing!
May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.
And we share these blessings with God's children from all around the world, so let's remind each other how blessed we are by sharing this grace-filled blessing with those who might need it.
Mein Gebet
Vater, ich denke an einige von mir geschätzte Freunde, die es nötig haben, den Reichtum dieses Segens zu erhalten. Bitte segne sie reichlich und gnädiglich. Im Namen Jesu erbitte ich das. Amen.
My Prayer...
Father, I am thinking of several precious friends who need this blessing to fall richly upon them. Please bless them graciously, fully, overflowingly. Please be real to them as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. May they experience Jesus' grace, the Father's love, and the fellowship of other believers through the Holy Spirit. In Jesus' name, I ask for this grace. Amen.
