TFPC EM NEWSLETTER - JANUARY 12, 2022
Wednesday, January 12, 2022 at 9:20AM The Opening Journey
Today is January 12 2022
Welcome to your mid-week!
If we look at Nehemiah's life before chapter 1, he had a safe and secure, if not privileged lifestyle. However, the experience he would have had in Nehemiah chapter 8 - to be worshiping God with his people in Jerusalem - that would have been a grander, more cathartic experience than anything he could have ever imagined.
It would have been like witnessing a miracle.
I think the hard thing for us to do, especially because of the pandemic, is to love others. Especially when it comes to the limited time and energy that we have on this earth. Why try to invest in people who are not family? Why try to invest in people who are not our love ones? Why say 'yes' the needs of others?
However, what Nehemiah shows us is that by following the word of God to do good to all people (Galatians 6:10), it will not only bless those we help, but will also bless us abundantly so. It will give us experiences we would never have been able to experience if we didn't follow God's word.
Meaning, as daunting or as challenging or as humbling it is to love, that journey is worth it.
God's blessing upon you as you wrestles with loving others, and I look forward to worshiping with you this Sunday.
