TIME TO EXPAND

TIME TO EXPAND


We are in
The MIDDLE of the
Corona Virus=one of the
Most CHALLENGING times
In world history


So maybe it is
TIME TO EXPAND our love
Our compassion
For all others=
Give them the BENEFIT
Of the doubt


TIME TO EXPAND!
“Who am I
To be able
To hinder God?” Acts 11:17


It is hard
NOT to be TRAPPED
By the LIMITS of time=
Our understanding-
And our knowledge


We have been SHAPED
By our experiences
And by
What we have LEARNED
And gone through


We are all
DIFFERENT human beings
We have ALL been
Shaped by our experiences


But we can all EXPAND
In our LOVE AND COMPASSION
For the other guy=
For our FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS


We can REACH OUT
And EXTEND ourselves more
To one another=
JUST LIKE CHRIST DID


“She opens her arms
To the poor
And EXTENDS her hands
To the needy” Proverbs 31:20


“His mercy EXTENDS
To those who fear him
From generation to generation” Luke 1:50


The EARLY CHURCH of
Christ=was divided too=
MUCH like we are today


There was a lot
Of conflict and tension


And some of the BELIEVERS
Confronted Peter=
About his views
That the CHURCH
CANNOT include non-Jews


We all know
Who won out there=
As we are all CHRISTIANS


It is TIME TO EXPAND=
To include all
In the CHURCH OF GOD


After all=Christ died
For us all=it is TIME
TO EXPAND


And BUILD a
BRAVE new world
Filled with COMPASSION FOR ALL


“Who redeems
Your life from the pit
And crowns you
With LOVE AND COMPASSION” Psalm 103:4


“Therefore as God's chosen people=
Holy and dearly LOVED


Clothe yourself with COMPASSION=
Kindness=humility=gentleness=
And patience” Colossians 3:12


My dear friends=these are
Very tough times
We live in


Let us EXPAND=
Let us build a life
Of COMPASSION AND LOVE=
For every single person
In this world


In the name of JESUS=and our EVER COMPASSIONATE FATHER!
