Sharing the plenty in 2020. From Romans 12:2 good advice! “Don’t copy the behavior and customs of the world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will know what god wants you to do and you will know how good and pleasing and perfect His will really is.”
Today, let us represent the King of Kings and Lord of Lords in a culture that is seeking a totally new way to approach life. We will not live in fear, but we will learn to love the other person and consider his needs, his feelings, his struggles, his concerns, his physical and psychological needs in the recovery period to come. This is not easy. It will require all our attention to live with generosity of spirit and means as we serve the Lord in a time such as this. Pray for each other, serve each other, love each other, for the gospel others see in us speaks volumes, for we are followers of the Lord God Almighty, who does all things in love. “Let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think.”
