Devotion for Life for June 2nd, 2026

Come together in support

The early church recognized the importance of coming together to support each other and those in need. We see this in how they shared property and possessions, how they put such a high priority on this. Decision were made to make sure that people were cared for equally.

Are we able to see the needs of people or do we only see what we want to see? Do we support people where they are at or where we think they are at? Do we allow our biases to dictate our actions or do we see people with the same love that Jesus does? As we gather in the name of Jesus, as we help in our communities we need to do so being guided by the Holy Spirit, sharing both words of life and the necessities of life with those who are in need. The gift that Jesus gives us not just about words but also about healing and feeding. The blessing that Jesus brings is just about today but about eternity also.

As a community of faith as we trying to bring people together for our sake or share Jesus love and help to all who would receive it? We need to act not simply in how we think is best but to closely listen to the Holy Spirit leading us in ministry and life together.
