Word for the day “Love lifted me”

Beloved leaders,

Today for Grace and Truth Leadership is “Love lifted me”. As we consider the many challenges of this year 2021. It’s only the Love and the grace of God that has kept us from succumbing to the polarizing times we are living in now. We wanted to give a shout-out to our amazing God for holding us up and keeping us together. We’ve had death, sickness, emotional and spiritual trauma, all happen to us and those we serve. But God’s amazing love has sustained us. So, we share the words of the hymnal “Love lifted me”:

 I was sinking deep in sin, far from the peaceful shore, Very deeply stained within, sinking to rise no more, But the Master of the sea, heard my despairing cry, From the waters lifted me, now safe, am I. Love lifted me! Love lifted me! When nothing else could help, Love lifted me!

I can't help but give God glory When I think about my story and the stories of many of you who subscribe and are in this amazing journey with us. Whatever is going on in your life today, I wanted to remind God loves you and will sustain you. I know God favored us, for such a time as this; great people of God. If you have ever felt God's love save you from the depths of despair, then you know God's power is real.  You know God's power is true. You must know God loves you deeply! As we are in the final months of 2021, please remember to support and partner with us as we close this year out in the love and grace of God!
