Showing God's Love and Grace "Above all, love each oth- er deeply, because love cov- ers over a multitude of sins. Offer hospitality to one an- other without grumbling. Each of you should use whatever gift you have re- ceived to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms." (1 Peter 4:8 -10, NIV ). This is one of those vers- es that as Christians we need to keep with us in our hearts everyday. Lov- ing others, even in bad sit- uations, offering hospitali- ty without grumbling and using our gifts to serve oth- ers are some of the hard- est things to do the ma- jority of the time. Howev- er, as children of God and stewards of his grace, we should strive every day to show that kind of mercy, compassion and grace in- stead of hatred or wrath. Doing this in tough situa- tions can show others that God is real and lives inside you. This is one of the ma- ny ways to reach out to oth- ers and show that we can all make a difference with Christ in our lives, no mat- ter the circumstances. God bless you and keep you. We welcome you to all services. Come and wor- ship Jesus with us. See our Facebook page Glezen Revival Center. Website: grcenter.net – E- mail address: glezenreviv- alcenter@yahoo.com.
