We had our easter service this morning, and our Pastor was talking about the cross - of course LOL. But he said that we all have our own crosses to bear, one of them being the recession. What the recession means:
1. It is there to expose hidden sin (greed, self reliance, waste etc.)
2. Intents to wake up our hearts to the fact that two thirds of the world are ALWAYS in a recession
3. Relocate our roots of joy in grace and not goods
4. Causes the Gospel to be spread when our resources are low... put your faith in God
5. Encourages us to care for people who are needy - you know how you have empathy for someone because you are now experiencing something similar?
Crosses are beautiful doorways to Heaven. Thank you Jesus for our crosses - may ensure that we become more like you (and help me to learn the lesson the firs time round :))
