Lord, help me to remember that nothing is going to happen today that you and I together cannot handle.

God's Family of Friends

"Christ placed us in his family of friends. How have you been helped by members of God's family? How can you reach out to help your members and sisters in Christ?"

The passage says "when you put your trust in Christ, he not only pardons you but places you in his family of friends".
Church is a place that shapes the future of many people. If we look at people who are truly helpful and giving and ethical, they mostly had a very good community in their Church. One learns to truly share and do things as a group in Church. In Church, we start with the thought that "Everyone is good. Everything done is for Christ".
I have been helped by my Church members. I thank them every day in my prayers. There are many ways I can reach out. I could teach something. I could give money.
"How can we reach out ?" is a good question. There are so many ways to reach out to people in trouble. Yet often we tend to think, we're the ones in trouble and everyone else is leading a happy life. We probably tend to look only at our colleagues, that too only the ones who're doing well. May be we're seeing only the outside. They may have their issues. God, help in making the world a better place. Amen.
