And I know I'm weak
I know I'm unworthy
To call upon Your name
But because of grace
Because of Your mercy
I stand here unashamed

And all who believed were together and had all things in common. And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need. (Acts 2:44-45)

Just as the early church did, I felt the love through the actions of my friends, who responded to my sharing with them that my bag was broken by lending/giving ( Read more... )

Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. (‭Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭9-10‬ NIV)

I want to remember yesterday, the time with two of my girls. Thank You Lord, for the opportunity to serve and disciple them. Thank You for opening each of our hearts, for allowing us to each share like we did.

'Cause nobody wants to do it on their own
And everyone wants to know they’re not alone ( Read more... )
