This week I sat with a couple who were struggling with many issues in their lives and marriage. It would have been so easy to judge them and tell them all the things they were doing wrong. But the thing they needed to hear the most was about God’s love and that He had already administered true justice through his son Jesus. After sharing with them the simple truth of salvation they both prayed together asking Jesus into their lives. Later that same day I took them a Bible. The husband greeted me at the door with a big smile and informed me that they remembered the song, “Yes Jesus loves me,” from their early childhood days and were now singing it to their children.
My prayer for you this week:
“I pray that God grants you the ability to administer true justice; showing mercy and compassion to others, not oppressing the widow or the fatherless, the alien or the poor and in your heart not thinking evil of others. Amen.” Zechariah 7:9,10
