It’s so simple, “Are any of you suffering hardships? You should pray. Are any of you happy? You should sing praises. Are any of you sick? You should call for the elders of the church to come and pray over you, anointing you with oil in the name of the Lord. Such a prayer offered in faith will heal the sick, and the Lord will make you well. And if you have committed any sins, you will be forgiven (James 5:12-14).”
This is today’s Bible reading in our Bible read through. It’s so good. It doesn’t say, “Maybe you could pray”, but it says, “You should pray!” And pray for others! All of the time, suffering, happy, sick, or in the cycle of sin-you should pray, sing praises! I am so excited for what God is doing in all of us students. He is really bringing all of us back to the simplicity of his love and the understanding of who he is.
The simplicity of his love, the past few days, has been all I can think about! Realizing that it’s not the work we do, because work runs out, and no one remembers the work, but the love that is shown while doing it. Not our love, but the love of Christ in us!
No one has ever seen God. But if we love each other, God lives in us, and his love is brought to full expression in us.
1 John 4:12
