On level ground

Good morning! The sun is shining! What a beautiful morning. This past month has went by so quickly( although happy it is over!) Been a busy one in the Loner household. We are so looking forward to warmer temps, sunshine and fun!

As I enjoyed my devotions in my beautiful little porch ( thanks to kids and Paul for the reno) I thought I would share what I read. Nothing new, but something worth being reminded about.

" God calls us not to a solitary sainthood but to fellowship in company of committed individuals."

The devotion went on to talk about how we are met to encourage each other, love each other, share each others burdens.  That church is to be a haven for all.

" The church is God's way to have ALL people- regardless of race, weatlh, social standing, professional position, education, etc.-to stand equally before God, to stand on level ground at the foot of the cross."

I love that quote. We are all equal in God's eyes. We all have worth. And with that we are to treat each other like this by supporting and accepting all people that come into our lives and especially into our churches.

Here are a few verses you can look up for more on what God says to us about our relationship with others:
- Romans 12:10
Romans 15:14
1 Corinthians 12:25
Galatians 5:13
Galatians 6:2
Ephesians 4:32
Colossians 3:16
1 Thessalonians 4:9
1 Thessalonians 4:18

My devotion suggested picking 2 verses  and make a special effort to put them into practice today.
you never know the difference you could make in a person's life!!

Love and Prayers,

Jen Loner
