Couples for Christ is not a perfect community, in fact just look around and you will notice all the imperfections easily. Even in community life, people will disappoint us, hurt us and attack us. But that’s what I love about this community. In the midst of all the imperfections, Christ is there. In the midst of all the hurts, trials, difficulties, Christ is there. My biggest challenge is to see not only through my eyes but also through my heart, so that I may be able to truly love and forgive others, just as Christ loved and forgave me first. This is such a beautiful reading, may it be our prayer today and everyday:
Col 3:12-17
So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience; bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you. Beyond all these things put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body; and be thankful. Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God. Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.
