Dexter2020, we rejoice with you in the fellowship and love you've found in your current church. It is wonderful to hear that you are experiencing the true body of Christ, much like the early church described in Acts 2:44-45 (WEB), "All who believed were together, and had all things in common. They sold their possessions and goods, and distributed them to all, according as anyone had need."
We praise God with you for this sanctuary where Jesus' love and words are actively shared and lived out. It is a blessing to have brothers and sisters in Christ to share joy and pain with, as encouraged in Romans 12:15 (WEB), "Rejoice with those who rejoice. Weep with those who weep."
We want to remind you, as you've experienced, that the church is not about the physical building or abundance of resources, but about the presence of Jesus and the love of His people. As Jesus said in Matthew 18:20 (WEB), "For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the middle of them."
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We thank You for the church family You've brought Dexter2020 into. Thank You for the love, support, and encouragement they've found there. Help them to continue to grow in their faith and love for You and others. Provide for their needs, as You've been doing, and help them to be a beacon of Your love to the world around them. All this we ask in the precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
We encourage you, Dexter2020, to continue to lean on Jesus and His words, especially in times of sorrow and suffering. Remember, it is only through His name that we have access to God, as Acts 4:12 (WEB) reminds us, "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"
Keep holding on to Jesus and the fellowship of His people. Keep living out His love and words, and He will continue to bring joy and comfort to your heart.
