Day 15: Laughter and Tears Together



Copyright © 2016 by Michelle Lores

            
 

Talking and Listening,

Laughter and Tears.

Sorrows and Joys,

That come through the years.

 

All of these are meant

To be lived through with others.

We are connected to our family in Christ with God as our Father—

May God unify us as sisters and brothers…

In Him.

 
      

 

“Lord, sometimes it is so easy to just go it alone.

But that is not how you meant for us to live our lives as followers of You.

You want us to listen to one another, to pray with one another and for one another, to cry with one another and rejoice with one another.

You want us to comfort each other.

We are meant to live this life together, unified as one body in Christ in Your love.
 

Father, please don’t let us let pride or selfishness get in the way of loving one another and living in community with one another.

Also, may we not rely on each other first.

May we always go to You first and then seek prayer or help from a brother or sister.

May we love You with our whole hearts, and because of our love for You, may we love Your children, our brothers and sisters in Christ.
  
    
Oh, Father, there is none like You.

Take us and fashion us to be more like Your Son, Jesus.

And may we reach out and love one another.

May we be willing to be vessels bringing Your love to one another every day.

May this start in our own homes, then go to our churches, then to our communities, then to our states, our country, and the world.

Your children are all over the world, and we are called to love and pray for all of our brothers and sisters (Ephesians 6:18).

Lord, You want us to bring Your love to the lost—that is so important!

But Father, help us to never forget to love our brothers and sisters in Christ.

Your Word says that is a mark that we are Yours—when we love Your children (1 John 5:1).

Father, I pray for my brothers and sisters around the world.

For those facing persecution of any kind, be their strength, their hope, and their resolve to never deny You.  May they know that You are with them now, You will never leave them, and You are truly all they need!  You are enough.  You are Everything!

For all of us, may we truly know and live the truth that You are all we need!  May we rely on nothing or no one else for our love and satisfaction!

We need You so much every day!  May we be aware of this!

I love You, dear Lord!

Use me today and every day to be a blessing to those around me—my brothers and sisters in Christ and the lost.

Father, You are so good!

Use me today!  Here I am.  Send me out for Your glory and Yours alone!

In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

 
       

What is my cup of SonShine for today?

To love my brothers and sisters in Christ by listening to them, praying for them, and being what God calls me to be in their lives.

 

God is so good!

Let us follow Him today!

And let us love one another in unity!

In Jesus’ Name, May it be so!

Amen!
