"...Therefore go and make disciples of all nations..."

MATTHEW 28:19 NIV

A THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

The Spirit can lead us to

drain moats,

open draw bridges,

and build wheelchair-accessible bridges.

We slam the door shut on the Gospel,

but Christ open windows in lives and in churches.

            Martha Grace Reese

            Unbinding Your Heart pg 80

Scripture

Galatians 5:16 CEV

If you are guided by the Spirit, you won't obey your selfish desires.

Prayer

Lord,  help me to see the windows you open in

my life and church and then to do what the

Spirit leads and directs. Amen
