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!
