“In the midst of unjust suffering, my heart broke open, and I was again reminded that the call upon God’s people, then as well as today, is to be like God who reaches out and touches those who suffer—to be a community who bears one another’s burdens, to be a community who walks with one another through difficult times, through suffering” –Pam Ferguson, Fruit of the Vine

Query: Do you make God’s love visible to those around you?

61

A central truth

in the Kingdom—

the greatest is the one

who serves.

Like a sea,

the streams pour into it.

Its greatness

comes from its low position.

When we bow,

offer friendship,

nurture the little ones,

welcome the stranger—

when we serve others,

we become great

in the Kingdom.

–Jim Teeters, Because of This
