“Let your gentleness be known to all people”
Hmmm, thinking about that one. I’m not sure everyone knows about my gentleness. As a follower of
God, does my gentleness come through as one of my more obvious traits? Maybe I need to work a bit
more on my presentation. I know folks who just put me at ease when I am around them and I strive to
have that kind of persona. How about you, are there areas in your personality that need a little polishing
up or even an upgrade? Let us see the Lord to ask Him and then be willing to make those needed
changes in our lives.
Upgradingly Yours,

“Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, and constant in prayer.”
Great words from St. Paul for us in the good times and the times of struggle. Jesus tells us also that in this life we will have tribulation but to be of good cheer, because He has overcome the world. So…if we think everything is always going to be easy or if someone tells us if we live or believe a certain way then life will be without challenges, we will be continually disappointed. The truth is that life is tough but that there will also be times of hope and celebration. The key to living a fulfilled, contented Christian life is summed up in the last 3 words of the quote above. Being “constant in prayer” will keep us in continual fellowship with Jesus. Abiding in Him brings forth peace and as we get better at hearing His still small voice, He will lead us throughout our day. By the way, if you just read this, send me an email at wakeuppc@gmail.com and I will send you a blessing!
Rejoicing in Hope,
Pastor Chris Yount
