Pensamento:
Nossa vida em Cristo é uma grande bênção! Acolhemos novos cristãos na nossa comunhão para compartilhar essa bênção. Não os acolhemos para escrutinar seu passado nem as lutas atuais, mas os acolhemos ao amor da família de Deus. Deus nos aceitou graciosamente. Façamos o mesmo com novos cristãos.
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).
Oração:
Pai, por favor, ajude-me a ser mais compreensivo e paciente com meus irmãos e irmãs em Cristo, especialmente aqueles que são novos na fé. No nome de Jesus eu oro. Amém.
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.
