Blessing

"The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit ever with you," 2 Corinthians 13:14.

A blessing to us. Us, a people needing to find and to extend grace for each other, grace Christ freely gives us. A blessing to us. Us, a people struggling to give and to receive love for and from each other, love God pours out richly into our hearts. A blessing to us. Us, a people striving to join and to accept each other into real fellowship, a fellowship the Spirit firmly establishes among us. And because of that blessing: we repent. Yes! We do extend Christ's grace to any and all comers. We yield God's love for each other. We uphold the Spirit's communion with each other.

When we commune with a brother or sister today we share in the Lord's grace and love. And, together, we speak words of thankfulness to our God for fellowship with him into for ever.
