"Brethren, pray for us. Greet all the brethren with a holy kiss. I adjure you by the Lord to have this letter read to all the brethren. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you." -I Thessalonians 5:25-28 (NASB)
Saying hello and goodbye is a natural part of meeting or gathering with others. We may even say it without giving it a second thought. With fellow believers, we should greet each other and care for each other with love and depart from each other in grace.
As believers, we should pray for each other, whether together or apart. When we gather together, we should embrace each other with God's loving Spirit. Once gathered, we should share God's word with each other, supporting each other in our spiritual growth and understanding of God's plan for each of our lives. Finally, as we depart, we should leave each other in the grace, forgiveness, and love that was demonstrated for us by Jesus. With God and Jesus gathering with us, we can feel their presence as they support our relationships and time together!
Cherish your time with other believers, studying and growing together before leaving each other with the peace and grace of the Lord Jesus!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for opportunities that I have to fellowship with other believers. Help me to follow Your ways as I strive to show love to others and live in the grace and peace shown to me by Jesus. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
