Sunday Words of Encouragement April 29, 2012

We were away this weekend for a L.I.V.E. (Laypeople In Vital Exchange) Connect event. We had wonderful fellowhip with the host church and families. The internet was weak so I didn't get anything posted last night. It is nice to be home but we are tired.

This paragraph is from one of the small group meetings. It struck me as a great thought to share for Sunday Words.

God is a good Father.  He hears the cries of our hearts and answers but it isn’t always the answer we want or are looking for. God, who sees all and knows all, answers according to His will not ours. Yet, do we only think he has answered our prayers when He says yes? When life turns out the way we hope and pray it will, we thank God and know He loves us. But what about those times when God seems silent or worse yet, things go the opposite way that we have been praying?  God still loves us dearly during those low times in our lives.  He has a plan.  Remember, God’s greatest work was to do nothing while his son died on a cross...

This was a worship song we sang in service this morning.

A Verse for Today: 

2 Corinthians 9:8 (New Living Translation)

And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others.

I am thankful for God's love and abundance that gives us enough love to share if we allow Him to use us.
