Sharing God's Mercy
"I assure you, as often as you did it for one of My least brothers, you did it for Me." –Matthew 25:40
I was in need of guidance,
and you shared your faith with me.
I was in spiritual dryness,
and you prayed for me.
I had been away from the church for some time,
and you invited me.
I came from a family that never knew Jesus,
and your love for him warmed my heart and drew me it.
As Christians, we are called to love our neighbor as ourselves, to share God’s mercy with both believers and non-believers. We are called to be a light in a world of spiritual darkness.
It is through the corporal and spiritual works of mercy that we truly practice our faith.
Lord, remove from my heart the stubbornness of the goat, who butts and kicks when he doesn't get his way.
Please give me the grace to be more trusting like the sheep,
Who hears your voice and follows after you.

Beautiful, very well said. I think sometimes we get caught up and forget that the biggest part of our faith is action, living it out and showing others love. That is probably the best way to get the Lord's point across to others.
P.S. Like the new backdrop, a nice, peaceful blue. Very welcoming.
You are right Jek, faith is action.
I am glad you like the new background, I was a little iffy ;)
Wonderful!
Thank you Ed.
Amen!!! This pretty much says exactly how we are to live.
Blessings and thanks for the reminder,
Ann
