Dear Friends,
It is good to give thanks to the Lord! In the gospel of Luke, 10 men were healed of leprosy, but only one returned to thank Jesus. Jesus said to him, "your faith has made you whole".
From this story we learn that our needs can bring us to Jesus, but it's thanksgiving that causes us to grow in relationship with Him. And that's all the difference between being healed and be made whole. Giving thanks welcomes God's Presence into our environment no matter what is going on. That's why the Bible says "in everything give thanks, for this is the will of God concerning you". Go ahead and open the doors for the King of Glory to come in through thanksgiving!
At New Life we have a great tradition around the Thanksgiving holiday: we gather as a church family at 7PM on Thanksgiving Eve for a family time of sharing testimonies and giving thanks to God for His goodness. Join us!
The Lord continues to meet with us and take us from glory to glory.
Let's expect God to do great things this Sunday. Until then, thank Him for the great things He will do today. Let him make you a blessing to at least on other person each day this week!
Grace & Peace,
Caleb & Rachel
