Brothers and sisters in Christ

Last night I had a great time volunteering at the great pumpkin party for special needs night! It was such a great experience getting to love on kids and adults with special needs and be with my other youth group members as well! I was just so blessed thinking about how this was all my family!! 

With so much ugliness and darkness in the world it can be easy to doubt others and not see the good in them. But in our churches with a good foundation and true love there is so much beauty in others. I think it is so easy to see that when you are serving God with others. You can see their true heart and how God has changed them. 

Take some time and love on your brothers and sisters in Christ. It will change your heart and life entirely. It will bless you and change your life as well. Getting to love on others is amazing!! 

You, then, why do you judge your brother or sister? Or why do you treat them with contempt? For we will all stand before God’s judgment seat. It is written: “ ‘As surely as I live,’ says the Lord, ‘every knee will bow before me; every tongue will acknowledge God.’ ” So then, each of us will give an account of ourselves to God. (Romans 14:10-12 NIV). 

What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. (James 2:14-17 NIV). 

Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. (Romans 12:1 NIV).
