Dear Church Family,
Recently, Joyce and I were preparing a special gift for my parents as a way to show our love and care—especially for my dad, who is currently in the hospital recovering from a ruptured disk. Before we could send our gift, a package arrived from them. Their gift to us was far more precious than anything we could have given. It was a humbling reminder that a parent’s love is always higher, longer, wider, and deeper than anything we can offer in return.
Reflecting on this, I am reminded of God’s love. It’s impossible to outgive Him. Think of how He has saved us, rescued us from the depths, and set us on solid ground. When we try to respond with gratitude, we find His grace is always greater. His love is beyond measure.
This Sunday is Consecration Sunday, a special time for us to say, “Thank You, God.” It’s an opportunity to express our gratitude and commit ourselves to letting His love flow through us into the world. During worship, we will turn in our commitment cards for the coming year, pledging to share our time, treasure, and talents in service to Him.
Here’s what this might look like:
- Committing to serve in a ministry.
- Sharing your resources to further God’s mission.
- Inviting a loved one to church or sharing the good news of Jesus.
- Mentoring someone in faith.
We know we can never outgive God, but we can give Him our heartfelt thanks and honor Him with our lives. Imagine the joy and transformation that will come when we, as a church family, pour out His love into our community!
Will you join me this Sunday in lifting up your hands and heart in gratitude? Let’s commit ourselves fully to the work of God, trusting that His love will sustain us and His grace will continue to amaze us.
"Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good. His love endures forever!" (Psalm 136:1)
Pastor Victor
