Is anyone among you in trouble? Let them pray. Is anyone happy? Let them sing songs of praises. James 5:13
Hi all!
What are 2 or 3 things in your life you’d like to see made right?
I find it easy to think of big problems “out there” I’d like to see made right. Hunger, water shortages, human trafficking, terrorism, and fascism.
I find it much harder to think of things in my life I’d like to see made right. It’s even harder to accept my part in the problems.
I’d like to work on isolation, but am I willing to experience the shame and embarrassment that comes first?
I’d like to improve my relationship with my wife, but am I willing to do the hard work of humility?
I’d like to be appropriately assertive, but that means admitting shortcomings and knowing what I want.
The list goes on. I’d like to work on problems.
Jesus wants to make things right. Make that happen Jesus.
See you Sunday at 9 or 10:30 (outdoors!)
Blessings in Jesus!
Pastor Timmermann
