Love in Action

Hey Ladies!!!


      We've already started our Tuesday evening fellowship time FROM 7:30PM-9PM. We've decided to move from our small apartment to the 9th Floor of Takashimaya Department Store. So far its been great!!!.

We've started a new series studying Women in the Bible.

    Last night our Dear friend Karen Chambers Shared about a Woman of Worth, Love & Action. This woman's name was Tabitha also known as Dorcas, Her amazing story is found in the Book of Acts 9: 36-42

     The Bible says that Dorcas was a disciple and made clothes for widows and orphans in her community. She was a great woman of influence who reflected the love of her savior Jesus Christ.

     It got me thinking that our walk of intimacy with Jesus should be witnessed by others through our actions of Love. Most of the time we think intimacy as "ME" focused, "ME" spending "MY" Time with the Lord, "ME" Getting More revelation of God's Love for "ME". However as we see Jesus work through us , there should be an outward expression of our intimacy with Him that makes a difference in our Home, community, work, church &country.  We need to be careful not to mistaken our intimacy with the Lord as only meaning an intimate life centered on ourselves,however;  we should be careful not to work for intimacy with Jesus through deeds.
      Our actions of Love for others should be a constant reflection of the intimate relationship we have with Jesus. I sometimes feel that as I live in intimacy with Jesus it’s so easy for me to become the focus instead of him being the focus of my life. A few weeks ago the Lord reminded me that sometimes the distractions we have in our lifestyle of intimacy with Jesus is not the "ENEMY" or outside "Forces"(that’s just giving them too much credit), but that, I'm often my own distraction, its like the Enemy of our souls will do anything to make sure that he uses "ME" to distract "ME" from my intimate life with Jesus and my purpose in Him.

    Karen mentioned that, Everything Dorcas made was beautiful and not only did she make garments for the poor, she perhaps even prayed over them, that they would be "Garments of Praise" for those with a Heavy heart. Our Friend Debbie Wong mentioned that Dorcas was resurrected from the dead because she was needed in God's Eyes. She was perhaps a widow herself, but she did not make that the focus and center or her life in Jesus.

  Our prayer for you, is that you would be a Women of Worth that sees the needs of others in your family, home, work, community, church & country. That your lifestyle of intimacy with Jesus would be reflected by the difference you make with Love in action.
