A word of encouragement
Rev Ralo
Dear Family.
In this time of social distancing we are being reminded that we were never meant to live in isolation. Part of being created in the image of God is being designed for community. God even said, man was not meant to be alone. It is not the way he designed humanity. Our innate need to stay in community has become apparent and people are longing to stay connected. It is quite astonishing how connected people are even when they are unable to see one another in-person People are finding ways to be intentional in their communication through Zoom calls, FaceTime, and other creative ways. Even social media is being used to encourage one another. God is at work drawing people together during a time of crisis.
Though Christians should not go looking for difficult situations, we should view them as opportunities to grow our faith. It is in moments like these that we begin to wrestle with the promises of God and we undoubtedly find him to be faithful. The relief might not come when you want it and it might look different than what you thought, but God is always true to his promises. It’s in times of hardship that we see God’s glory on full display. When human efforts fail and you have done all you can do, God moves in ways only he can. It is out of this place your faith will grow deeper, stronger, and wider.
There is no doubt that we are all living in difficult times that are directly affecting us as individuals. But God has not stopped working. He is not silent or passive. He is on the move. He is working in the hearts and faith of his people. As believers in Jesus, we have an opportunity to minister and share the truth of Jesus like never before. God is on the move and we can be part of the work he is doing. We are all witnessing a pandemic, so we are all standing on common ground. There is an opportunity to share with friends and family why you are not paralyzed by fear. Let your peace be a testimony to the truth of Jesus. This is a time when more people are open to hear about Jesus and it is time for believers in Jesus to start sharing.
