TOPIC: EMBRACING GOD’S DESIGN

MEMORISE: I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are Your works, and that my soul knows very well (Psalm 139:14).

READ: Psalm 139:13-14

     Organ donation serves as a serious reminder of the selflessness inherent in giving life, echoing the sacrificial love of God in creating us (Jn. 15:13). Similarly, Left Handers’ Day celebrates the uniqueness of God’s design. It challenges societal norms and reflects God’s creativity.

     The Bible affirms that we are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psa. 139:13-14), each intricately fashioned by God for His purpose (Eph. 2:10). Every organ serves a vital role in the body, so does every individual, irrespective of traits.

     God’s people should recognize and celebrate each person’s diverse contributions to Christ’s body, enriching it with their unique gifts and perspectives (1 Cor. 12:12-27).

     Today, let us honor organ donors for their selfless acts of love and celebrate left-handed individuals as reflections of God’s diverse handiwork.

     May our celebration today testify to God’s boundless love and creativity, and may we cherish every individual as a precious creation, fearfully and wonderfully made for God’s glory. Amen.

1. Lord, thank You for organ donors; they reflect Christ’s sacrificial love. Bless them as they give life to others.

2. God, we celebrate Your creativity in each left hander. Help us to honor their uniqueness.

3. Pray for the Authority of Christ Apostolic Church, our Fathers the President, General Superintendent, General Evangelist, General Secretary, Finance Director and Director of Missions as directed by God’s Spirit.

1. Thy life was given for me,

Thy blood, O Lord, was shed,

That I might ransomed be,

And quickened from the dead;

Thy life was giv’n for Thee?

What have I giv’n for Thee?

2. Long years were spent for me

In weariness and woe ,

That through eternity

Thy glory I might know;

Long years were spent for me

Have I spent one for Thee?

3. Thy Father’s home of light,

Thy rainbow-circled throne,

Where left for earthly night,

For wand’rings sad and lone:

Yea, all was left for me;

Have I left for aught for Thee?

4. Thou, Lord , hast borne for me

More than my tongue can tell

Of bitt’rest agony,

To rescue me from hell

Thou suffer’dst all for me;

What have I borne for Thee?

5. And Thou hast brought to me

Down from Thy home above

Salvation full and free,

Thy pardon and Thy home above

Great gifts Thou broughtest me;

What have I brought to Thee?

6. O let my life be giv’n,

My years for Thee be spent,

World-fetters all be giv’n

And joy with suffering blunt:

Thou gag’s thyself for me;

I give myself to Thee.

Amen
