From Pastor’s Heart …
I got up early one morning and rushed right into the day. I had so much to accomplish that I did not have time to pray. Problems just tumble about me and heavier came each task. Why doesn’t God help me? I wondered, God answered, “You did not ask.” I wanted to see joy and beauty, but the day toiled on, gray and black I wondered why? God did not show me? God said, but “You did not seek.” I tried to come into God’s presence, and I used all my keys at the lock. God lovingly remind me, “My Child, you did not knock.” I woke up early this morning and paused before entering the day. I had so much to accomplish today that I had to take time to “Pray.” - (Alan Grant)
Dear Friends and Church Family,
It is my joy to share my first pastor’s note and beautiful wisdom from the great writer Alan Grant. As God created the seasons, each season is different from the others. Some are meant for things to grow, and others for things to die off. For example, Summer is reaching for optimal growth. During Spring, the plants begin to grow, and in the Autumn, the leaves become vibrant and then die and fall. Winter sustains the root and if roots are not in soil, the whole plant will die. Let us take our time to talk to our heavenly Father daily. And by talking to our heavenly Father daily, this is how we understand His heart and His mind. As we participate in His works and His ministry here on earth, God will provide the wisdom and give us strength that we need to face any opposition in our daily lives. There is always hope, peace, joy and encouragement when we all look and lean on the LORD our God for our next step. May all of you find your strength and your joy in Him today as we look forward to building God’s Kingdom together.
Amen. . .
Many blessings,
Pastor Sean Chanthasone
