Sera is a theatre production student from La'Salle, she never fails to inspire others around her with her deep convictions and carefree expression of God's love. She's blessed with a beautiful singing voice too!
Philippians 1:7-8
"It is right for me to feel this way about all of you, since I have you in my heart and whether I am in chains or defending and confirming the gospel, all of you share God's grace with me. God can testify how I long for all of you with the affection of Jesus Christ."
How much do we long for each others presence?
Paul says, "...whether I am in chains or defending and confirming the gospel..." He still thinks about the people in Philippi. People he never really knew closely and personally and yet he loves them with the affection of Jesus. =)
How much more should we love each other in the ministry, or our small groups even. =)
It is very difficult to constantly love each other when we're so close because we tend to assume everyone is ok. We can't wait around for a problem before we, then, share our love. It has to be a constant thing. How much of the ministry is really in our hearts? =)
Paul had a prayer for the Philippi church and it is a prayer for us to.
Philippians 1:9-11
"And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ--to the glory and praise of God."
How much do we want this for each other? To keep each others hearts close to God and on a righteous path.
I know I do. =)
Who's with me?
Love.
