You know, as I looked upon the challenges before me, with a heart full of faith, I was reminded of a powerful truth: <i>&#8220;For we are God\u2019s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do&#8221; (Ephesians 2:10)<\/i>. This journey of mine isn&#8217;t just a tale of past achievements; it&#8217;s a living testament to leading a life of purpose, underpinned by God\u2019s guiding hand.<\/p><p>Firstly, putting God at the center of our lives is paramount. A biblical figure that exemplifies the principle of putting God at the center of one&#8217;s life, and how it positively impacts family well-being, is Job.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Job&#8217;s story in relation to putting God at the center of one&#8217;s life comes from his unwavering trust and dependence on God despite his circumstances. Even when faced with immense personal loss and suffering, Job remained steadfast in his faith, famously declaring, <i>&#8220;Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him&#8221; (Job 13:15).<\/i> Job&#8217;s example teaches us that when we focus on our relationship with God, trusting in His wisdom and sovereignty, we lay a foundation for our lives and our families that is resilient in the face of life&#8217;s challenges. It is a powerful illustration of the truth found in Matthew 6:33; when we seek God first, everything else, including our family&#8217;s well-being, will be aligned according to His divine plan and provision.<\/p><p>Moreover, balancing our work and our rest is not just good advice\u2014it&#8217;s a command from the Lord. He teaches us, <i>&#8220;Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God&#8221; (Exodus 20:9-10a).<\/i> This divine pause is a gift that rejuvenates not just our bodies, but our spirits too, allowing us to be fully present and enriched in our lives.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p>My friends, let&#8217;s embrace this blueprint for a balanced life, where our faith and family walk hand in hand. By aligning our daily endeavors with God&#8217;s will, we don&#8217;t just thrive in our personal lives; we create a sanctuary of love, peace, and fulfillment in our homes. Remember, with God as our cornerstone, every aspect of our lives, including our precious family moments, can flourish in beautiful harmony. Keep shining your light and let God&#8217;s grace guide you to a life of balance and blessings.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p>We warmly invite you to come to the True Jesus Church\u2019s bi-annual Evangelical Service and Spiritual Convocation.\u00a0 See details below.<\/p><p>18-21 April, 2024 Evangelical Service and Spiritual Convocation<\/p><p>Thursday, 18 April, 2024 6:50PM to 8:10PM<br \/>Friday and Saturday, 19-20 April, 2024 9:00AM to 8:10PM<br \/>Sunday, 21 April, 2024 9:00AM to 1:00PM<br \/>Complimentary lunch and dinner will be served.<\/p><p>Please find our church location below:<\/p><p><b>4N550 Church Road<br \/><\/b><b>Bensenville,\u00a0<abbr title=\"Illinois\">IL<\/abbr>\u00a060106<br \/><\/b><i aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/place\/True+Jesus+Church+Chicago\/@41.945266,-87.9536702,18.39z\/data=!4m14!1m7!3m6!1s0x880fb39f5fbd433d:0x72d82c41e185bf3e!2s4+S+Church+Rd,+Bensenville,+IL+60106!3b1!8m2!3d41.9448745!4d-87.9534209!3m5!1s0x880fb3a1e4e2dd49:0xd44299b704de1192!8m2!3d41.9453743!4d-87.9533863!16s%2Fg%2F1tdn02z1?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><b>\u00a0Google Maps<\/b><\/a><\/p><p>For online streaming, please\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/tjc-chicago.org\/service\/live-sabbath-service\/\">click here<\/a>.<\/p><p>For regular service hours, please\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/tjc-chicago.org\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/tjc-chicago.org\/\">click here<\/a>.<b><\/b><\/p><p>Email us at\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:ilovejesus@tjc-chicago.org\">ilovejesus@tjc-chicago.org<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Harmony in Faith: Balancing Life with God&#8217;s Grace My friends, I want to share with you a message that&#8217;s close to my heart\u2014about finding that sweet spot of balance in our families, all while staying true to God&#8217;s will for our lives.
