Wednesday Message 2-12-2020

Wednesday Greetings,

 
It's been a while.  I haven't blogged in a couple of months.

I suppose there are a number of reasons, but, I needed to take a break from the Wednesday Message.  I had moved from get to .... to have to.

Huh? 

Well, to be honest, sometimes I feel like I run out of things to say that feel spiritual and inspiring.  And sometimes I feel like I had to force myself to be that way in order to get a Wednesday message out.  And sometimes it felt like it was just something I had to do.  And that didn't feel spiritual nor inspiring.

I learned something about faith, about my faith. 

I get to share the Gospel of God in Jesus Christ.  It amazes me that God would not only be so great as to create all life, but so loving as to be an integral part of it, guiding it to a purpose, being in the joy and sorrow, calling it home.  I'm humbled by how good God really is, how much God actually cares, and how I get to be a part of helping people see that.

And the only "have to" in this is that I have to share it because it's such great news and it is such a great part of my life.   

When I changed my mind from thinking about what I have to do in all this faith stuff to what I get to do in all this faith stuff, I remembered the Gospel is never a burden, it's only an opportunity.

So, here I am, just taking this opportunity to tell you that I think God is amazing.  And I'm humbled that God cares so much about us that God came to us in Jesus, Immanuel, so that we might know that. 

I pray you get an opportunity to tell someone something about your faith in God through Christ.  The right words will come to you, you'll be enough, God will work through you, the Spirit will do more than you imagine through you.

I'm back.... Happy Wednesday Message day...
God is amazing!
 
Peace in our journeys,
Pastor Steve Melde
