New Family


“For just as we have many members in one body and all the members do not have the same function, so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.” Romans 12:4-5

“Blessed by the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before Him. In love He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, which He freely bestowed on us in the Beloved.” Ephesians 1:3-6

Even if you made a list of your spiritual blessings in Christ, you would never realise the value of many of them, especially the new family He has given you. Many are praying for you right now, some may be giving or helping or holding you in a practical way. God has called a special family to embrace you and some of them you may not even know or have met yet. Pray for your spiritual family this weekend!

Take care, your servant and friend in Christ, Darlene
