Enrich The Lives Of Others

 It was through suffering that the Lord Jesus Himself learned willing obedience to the Father and it is through the same pathway that we too grow in grace and come into deeper knowledge of Him.
 We are all ministers of the good news of the gospel of Christ to the people that God has placed within the sphere of our lives and each of us are living epistles that God can use to speak into the lives of others.
 We can also commend ourselves as servants of God as we face our own afflictions, hardships, distresses, and poverty in the power of the Spirit, with patient endurance and rejoicing in the hope set before us.
 We can Enrich The Lives Of Others as we point them into the pathway of peace.
 May we choose, from this day forward, to rejoice in our suffering, and count it all joy when we meet trials of any kind, knowing that when we are weak, He is strong, to the glory of the Father forevermore. 
sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; poor, yet making many rich; having nothing, and yet possessing everything.

Our United Prayer:
Thank You, our Father God, that in Christ we have an eternal perspective, whatever happens in our lives. In Him, we have a lasting joy and inner peace, no matter what difficulties arise. May we be living epistles to all the people we meet today and may we, like the Lord Jesus, learn obedience through the trials that You have allowed in our lives, to Your praise and glory. In Jesus' name we pray, AMEN.
