Размышление над стихом дня
Наша жизнь во Христе – просто благословение! Мы принимаем новых христиан в наше общение, чтобы разделять это благословение. Мы приглашаем их не для того, чтобы тщательно изучить их прошлые проступки или сегодняшние несовершенства, но чтобы переживать атмосферу любви в Божьей семье. Бог принял нас с благодатью и состраданием. Будем же поступать также с новыми христианами.
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).
Моя молитва
Отче, пожалуйста, сделай меня более понимающим и терпеливым с моими братьями и сестрами во Христе, особенно с теми, кто недавно стали христианами. Во имя Иисуса я молю.
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.
