Have you ever felt like you were the only one struggling with a problem? This week CWC heard from a missionary family, a young adult, and a group of teens about their struggles and how God is working in their lives. Do you hear yourself in their stories?
Can I be a good father? Am I allowed to ask for help? How will I know if I'm doing a good job? Our role as parents may sometimes seem impossible, but God provides the example and the resources to not only raise our children, but to show them the love of our Father.
Is your joy and peace only external, or does it bubble up from deep within you? True joy and peace comes from a source beyond ourselves, found in a meaningful relationship with God. Let's stop acting and start abiding.
Love - it's the greatest force ever experienced. It gives us superhuman strength and looks past the shortcomings in others. Paul tells us that love never fails. Is there someone in your life that needs the love that only you can give?
When we are harmed, that's painful. When you add in the intention to harm, that's personal. What this world intended for harm, God has redeemed not only for our good, but for the good of those that hear our story.
