Daily Devotions  Monday , April 3, 2006

The Daily Devotions are this week are written by Karen Ludwig. During the
season of Lent, the theme of Zion's Wednesday services (5 & 7pm) is based
upon our congregational set of values. Those values flow from the person and
name of Jesus (Justice, Energy to witness, Spiritual maturity, Understanding
the radical nature of Grace, Service to those in need). This week we explore
Service to those in need.

 

1 John 4:19,21

We love because he first loved us. The commandment we have from him is this:
those who love God must love their brothers and sisters also.

 

Thought

It isn't that we are being asked to do something that hasn't been done
before. 

It isn't that we are being asked to give something that we have not
received. 

It isn't a maybe, it is a must.

It isn't just our biological brothers and sisters, it is the entire
community.

 

We are called into loving  others, we are assured that God has set his love
for us as a benchmark.  

Loving others is an action that involves being invested in the well being of
others, just as God invests himself in us by creating, loving and redeeming
us. 

 

As we begin this week, look around and identify your brothers and sisters. 

Name them in your prayers. Pray for them, pray for God's guidance as you
continue to find ways to be in action: loving them!
