H.I., J.K.

Greetings Friends!

This past Sunday, Bronx Bethany received a visit from J.K. Warrick, one of the General Superintendents in the Church of the Nazarene. Reverend Warrick's scripture reading was Luke 2:1-20, the familiar passage which gives an account of the birth of Jesus.

One of the points made in the sermon was that the ordinary things of life can become extraordinary when they are touched and inhabited by God. As we reflect on this thought today, let's take a look at our own lives: can we say the same thing? Can our lives, our ordinary everyday routines, point others to the incomparable love of God?

Perhaps it's shown in the way we love our neighbors and pray for others.
Maybe it's demonstrated in our care for the hurting and the disenfranchised.

Or maybe you're thinking, and you can't say that there's something you do everyday that is driven by your love for God.

Do you love Him? Do you want to be like Him? "For God so loved the world that He gave..." (see John 3:16).

LORD, help us to show Your extraordinary love as we engage in our ordinary routines!
