"Above all, clothe
yourselves in love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. And let
the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called into
one body. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; teach and
admonish one another in all wisdom; and with gratitude in your hearts sing
psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs to God" (Colossians 3:14-16).
Last night after dinner,
Sylvia and I were invited to join Louise and Harry Bezzell for their home group
at the Apple Hill Lodge outside Moravian Falls, North Carolina. With young and
old, children included, they've been meeting together every Tuesday night for
worship, prayer, encouragement, and discipleship for ten years. They asked us to
share our story of our journeys of faith that led us to You and to one another.
Then they asked us to pray and prophesy over every one there, from the youngest
children to the elder leaders. "For you can all prophesy one by one, so that all
may learn and all be encouraged" (1 Corinthians 14:31).
How beautiful to see the
Body of Christ living life together in harmony and love. And how wonderful to be
welcomed as family with a father's blessing and opportunity to share the gifts
of You've given us to encourage Your Bride wherever You lead us. Thank You for
touching our hearts as we sang to You and prayed for one another. Thank You for
the physical healing of the one with the pain of an abscessed tooth, and thank
You for the deeper changes in all of our hearts and lives that will be made
manifest in our journeys to come. What a joy to know wherever we go, we're
always part of one body and one family with You. In Jesus' name I pray,
Amen.
Be
encouraged today! In the Love of Jesus, Tommy Hays

ministry engagments in Pennsylvania and North Carolina. Many speak of this area
as a holy place with an open heaven. May we draw near to hear the voice of the
