DIVINE EMBRACE!
Beloved congregation,
As we gather today, I am moved to share with you a message from the heart of our faith, a message that I have titled 'Divine Embrace.' This message is centered on the true essence of success in our walk with God. "True success with God unfolds when you extend a hand, guiding others on their journey back to His divine embrace."
Often, we are caught in the worldly definition of success – one that emphasizes personal achievements, status, and material possessions. However, in the eyes of our Creator, true success is found in our ability to impact the lives of others, to be a beacon of His love and a guide to His divine embrace.
Consider the life of Jesus Christ – His success was not measured by earthly standards but by the number of lives He touched, the souls He brought back to God. He reached out to the lost, the broken, the sinners, and brought them into the divine embrace of God’s love and forgiveness.
In our own lives, we are called to follow this example. Our journey with God reaches its zenith not when we accumulate wealth or accolades, but when we reach out to our fellow brothers and sisters, guiding them towards the path of salvation and eternal life in God’s embrace.
This divine embrace is not just a place of comfort; it is a place of transformation. It’s where broken hearts are mended, lost souls are found, and life’s true purpose is discovered. When we bring someone into this embrace, we participate in God’s work of transformation and redemption.
We are all called to be ambassadors of Christ, representatives of His love and grace. As such, our mission is to extend our hands, to show others the way back to God, to help them experience the divine embrace that changed our lives.
In conclusion, let us redefine our understanding of success. Let it not be about what we acquire for ourselves, but about how many we can bring into the divine embrace of God. Let us be instruments in God’s hands, touching lives and guiding souls back to Him.
Amen.
