We received many words of encouragement from the church yesterday and then many more as we read the cards from those who wanted to share a few words through a card. One note in the card referenced this verse and it was a good gauge of what we want everyone to always see in us wherever we go.
To sum it up it says ....
“I thank God for you because of the grace given you in Christ Jesus”
“In Him you have been enriched in every way with all kinds of speech and with all kinds of knowledge”
“God is confirming our testimony in Christ among you”
“You do not lack any spiritual gift”
“He will keep you firm to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ”
“God is faithful”
It was so encouraging to hear that they saw Jesus in us ... in our gifts, in our faith, in our passion for Jesus. The things they said they saw and that they would miss were all about our relationship with Christ. Wow. Eye opening. We want our legacy everywhere we go to be exactly that. We want people to see Jesus in us and not us, we want them to thank God for us because of Jesus in us, we want to be a light to this world. What a beautiful day of hearing from our brothers and sisters - affirming God's work in us. Thank you.
