Did You Know:
Having faith and being a Christian doesn't mean we will never make mistakes. It means that through our mistakes, we experience God's grace and mercy, which are ours in Christ. This week, look for opportunities to practice mercy, grace, and forgiveness in your family.
Excerpt from Portals of Prayer
True joy continues even when daily happenings don't justify it. Happiness is a mood. Joyfulness is a state of being. It's what we as Christians hope nonbelievers see in us every time they meet us. It's the ultimate "we know something they don't" situation. We haven't just heard the Gospel. We know it to be true. That knowledge changes everything for us and in us. We are not alone in this world, without meaning. We're here for a purpose. We're here to love and be loved by God and to love our neighbors. We're here to share the joy that Jesus Christ lived, died, and rose from the grave for all people of all nations. This earthly life is no longer all we have, for once this life ends, eternity awaits. And for each person who believes that Gospel, the angels in heaven rejoice!
