“Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share.” – First Timothy 6:18

I have just about finished reading the book GOD’S ULTIMATE PURPOSE by DM Lloyd – Jones.

I look forward to read GOD’S WAY OF RECONCILIATION by the same author.

“God’s way of Reconciliation”

“Caring for our Community,” and “Dedicated to looking after you,” is written on the small Pharmacy paper bag, I received not long ago. No need to tell you that medicine was in the bag.

It is an encouragement to know that someone is caring for you and looking after you, is it not?

But I am glad, that that is not the only place, where I read about caring and looking after.

In the Bible, in the New Testament, it says in First Peter 5:7,

“Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.”

In the Bible it says in the Old Testament in Ezekiel 34:11,

“‘For this is what the Sovereign LORD says: I myself will search for my sheep and look after them.'”

Maybe you want to read the whole of chapter 34 entitled “Shepherds and Sheep”?

Do I need to remind you that the words on the paper bag are written by human beings and the words in the Bible are Words of God, the Holy Spirit? I don’t think so.

John Newton wrote the first four verses of the hymn “AMAZING GRACE”.

“AMAZING GRACE”

BEFORE his conversion he was a seaman selling slaves.

AFTER his conversion he became an Anglican minister.

But he did not only write hymns. He had a friend called William Cowper and with the help of William Cowper, he produced a hymnbook.

It’s all about collecting money for the Cancer Society.
