Recognizing Our Need to Give - Day 28

September 22, 2012

"Jesus looked at him and loved him. 'One thing you lack,' he said. 'Go, sell everything you hve and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven.  Then come, follow me."  Mark 10:21

It may seem impossible in today's world that anyone could get rid of everything.  It may not be so hard to understand the concept of commitment.  If we have our heart open and accept the path of commitment, then that path provides direction and ownership.  Once there is ownership, then actions and thought have direction and purpose.

In the past three years, we as a congregation have made a commitment to expanding our mission of outreach through our growth into new space.  We now have that space, and must look to the future as that space is filled.  Our commitment and ownership of that space then provides the voice for where our ministries can and will grow.

Dear Lord - provide us the direction for our ministries that bring glory to you.  Amen.
