The Public Health Christian Fellowship at JHSPH

 Dear Public Health Christian Fellowship, "As you know, we count as blessed those who have persevered. You have heard of Job's perseverance and have seen what the Lord finally brought about. The Lord is full of compassion and mercy." James 5:11  Earlier this week, I had a chance to reflect on Job's story. I realized that what we all are facing is far from what Job went through. Can't you imagine being in Job position? Brothers and sisters, remember that  "No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it." 1 Cor 10:13 I pray that we do not "lose hearts" and continue to put our hopes and dreams to God as Job did so that God can see our faithfulness until the end of our lives.  A few things coming up: 1) Friday Bible Study 11am ET, Zoom  link 2)  PRAYER REQUEST !

  Dear Public Health Christian Fellowship, "Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are bing renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." 2 Cor 4:16-18  Brothers and sisters, I pray that we do not "lose hearts" and "continue focusing on what is unseen" and be transformed in Christ Jesus. I am sure there are a lot of real-life examples for these verses. But one that stood out for me as I pondered these verses is: we are not only praising God by "what is seen" by human's eyes (action or words), but also by what is unseen (our hearts and minds). We can fake our appearances, words, deeds, but we cannot fake our hearts and minds.  A few things coming up: 1) Friday Bible Study 11am ET, Zoom  link 2) 

  "Love doesn't hurt others. So, loving is the same as obeying all the law." Romans 13:10.  Brothers and sisters, I pray that we continue obeying God's law by showing our love for others. I learned so much from 5 love languages by Gary Chapman. You can learn more about it (and get your own result) on  https://www.5lovelanguages. com/  ! I hope this fun information helps! It won't hurt to understand other people's love languages, especially family and close friends!   A few things coming up: 1) Friday Bible Study 11am ET, Zoom link 2)  PRAYER REQUEST !
