5.3 Mission, Vision, and Values of ACOP
-
I am a work in progress but am getting there with being kind and extending love. If I allow myself to be filled with the love of Christ that joy shines through me and I can give it to those it need. I can build up and edify. I can shine the light of Jesus into the dark corners and provide hope. My church has opportunities and so does the community to reach out and let people know someone cares for them. More than ever we need to shine our lights brightly for all the world to see.

@KarryMac – I love the reminder that we are works in progress. After all, until we get to heaven, we are all under construction! But it sounds like you are making progress towards God’s glory. I’m reminded of C. S. Lewis’s famous sermon, “The Weight of Glory.”
“It may be possible for each to think too much of his own potential glory hereafter; it is hardly possible for him to think too often or too deeply about that of his neighbor.
The load, or weight, or burden of my neighbor's glory should be laid daily on my back, a load so heavy that only humility can carry it, and the backs of the proud will be broken.
It is a serious thing to live in a society of possible gods and goddesses, to remember that the dullest and most uninteresting person you talk to may one day be a creature which, if you saw it now, you would be strongly tempted to worship, or else a horror and a corruption such as you now meet, if at all, only in a nightmare.
All day long we are, in some degree, helping each other to one or other of these destinations.”
