Our small group, Grace Seekers, has decided to study 1Corinthians so I started reading through thinking I'd use 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 for today's blog. I like to read this section substituting my name for "love" and "it." It's pretty convicting. So I offer that up to you to try today.
But as I was reading from Dave's Men's Devotional Bible I came across an entry by Michael Card:
"Everyone who comes to know Jesus stumbles because of him. He fails to meet our wrong expectations. He calls us to do impossible things or to become something we think we could never become. This is his way of teaching us how much we need him. He breaks us to pieces so that he can put us back together in his image."
Sort of hits home, doesn't it? As Church Council meets tonight may the Holy Spirit permeate the room. And may we (Asbury Church) be broken to pieces so that he can put us back together in his image!!
Jesus, Thank you for loving us so much. Help us to love you more and to share your love with each other and those beyond our walls. Amen.
Linda
