Jesus said, "I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance". Today, i have attended the graduation and Lord's day celebration of the handmaids of the Lord Dubai. The Lord's day is the final week and celebration of the 12-week program called the Christian Life Program (CLP). The CLP is an integrated course intended to lead the participants into a renewed understanding of God’s call to them. This is the entry program to be a member of the Couples for Christ community. I belong in the ministry of the CFC Handmaids of the Lord, one of the family ministries of the Couples for Christ. This is the ministry for single mature women, single mother, widow and those whose husbands are in prison.
The mostly misconceived idea of serving in church is that church workers are "holy". WRONG! Most of us serve in the church because we are "sick". We need healing, spiritual that is. By serving in the church, we try to heed the calling of God to be like Him...holy. It's hard but we keep on trying anyway. When sinners are called, it means that the one who is calling is the healer, the doctor and the great God who makes all things new and possible. Today only proves that these new graduates of the CLP had heard the call. It was a day of fun and praises, of sharing and receiving, and of course of supporting each other in this spiritual journey. When sinners are called, we heed the call!
