Our Circle usually meets for an early morning hour, twice a month. We are a small group of women who care for and support one another as we share concerns and joys and study God's word. Together, we seek His wisdom in guiding our lives in ways that please and honor Him.
- He forgives our sins and failures, even when we fail to do the same for ourselves and others.
- He supplies us with all our care needs, places us in families, blesses us with many friends, and has given us the richness of His earth. God has filled our lives with many good things!
- He watches over our body's needs, heals many illnesses and diseases, and He always stays with us---in life and in death.
- He reduces our fears and worries, lifts our burdens, and offers us peace; sometimes He does this by providing others to minister to, and affirm us, in our faith.
- Despite knowing our weaknesses, He still accepts us, redeems our lives, and give us a fresh start every day.
- He invites us to come to Him with our human emotions, then releases us from them with His grace, love and mercy. He promises us strength and renewal by providing guidance through His word.
Perhaps you have some of your own examples to add?
