Gedanken zum Vers des Tages
Unser Leben in Christus ist ein wahrer Segen! Wir heißen neue Christen in unsere Gemeinschaft willkommen, um diesen Segen mit ihnen zu teilen. Wir heißen sie willkommen, nicht um ihr Versagen in der Vergangenheit oder ihre gegenwärtigen Probleme auszuforschen, sondern sie in die Liebe der Familie Gottes hineinzuführen. Gott hat uns gnädigst und mitfühlend willkommen geheißen. Darum lasst uns das gleiche mit neuen Christen tun.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Our life in Christ is such a blessing! We want to welcome new disciples into our fellowship to share the blessings that Jesus has given us. We don't bring them in to scrutinize their past failures or the current struggles, but to bring them into the love of God's acceptance as part of his eternal family. They will make mistakes and stumble, just as we did when we were new believers. Yet God welcomed us patiently, graciously, and compassionately. Let's do the same with new believers as they learn to live for Jesus. As Paul commanded the Romans:
Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God (Romans 15:7).
Mein Gebet
Vater, bitte hilf mir verständnisvoller und geduldiger mit meinen Brüdern und Schwestern in Christus zu sein, besonders mit den neuen Christen. Im Namen Jesu bete ich. Amen.
My Prayer...
Father, please make me more understanding and patient with my brothers and sisters in Christ, especially those who are new to the faith. Give me insight and empathy so I can encourage them, build them up, and help them feel accepted into your family as your beloved children. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
