Message from Melvyn
Staying strong through coronavirus

Hi Everyone,

When Jesus was asked what the greatest commandment is He said:

‘“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.”  This is the first and greatest commandment.  And the second is like it: “Love your neighbour as yourself.”
Matthew 22: 37-39

Living our lives, with these two commandments at the centre, will enable you and I to get through the current coronavirus crisis well and to help others to do so.

Firstly, stay close to God.  Talk with Him, read our Bibles, worship and praise Him, cast our cares upon Him, express our concerns and worries to Him, let Him take care of you.  Stay close to God.

Secondly, love others, putting them first. Let's see how we can concern ourselves with the needs and plight of others and find ways to help them.  This will give us less time to worry about ourselves.

To do the second well, we need the Fruit of the Spirit to grow in us.  Well, guess what?  If we do the first well, the Fruit of the Spirit will grow in us.

"The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control." 
Galatians 5:22,23

As the fruit of the Spirit grows in us and makes us strong we can apply the fruit in ways that help ourselves and others.

First and foremost let's love God with everything and then let's put His love in us into action to serve and help others - taking all the necessary precautions, of course.

Let's allow God's joy to rule over our fears and anxieties.  If you and I can be joyful at a time like this and put our trust completely in God, it will help us and others greatly.  Speak fear and anxiety and we create more fear and anxiety - but speak with joy and we allay fears and anxieties.  The secret to this is knowing God's peace deep down in our innermost beings.  As Jesus said, it is a peace that the world does not know or understand because it's a peace He gives to us which we can experience even in the direst circumstances.  In those troubled conversations, where friends or family are expressing their fears, let's be peace-bringers and joy-givers.

Let's be patient, kind and good even with the panic-buyers and those ignoring social distancing advice.  We can and should let them know that their behaviour is unacceptable, but we can do it without behaving badly ourselves and with patience, kindness and goodness.

Let's be faithful to God, to our friends and family and to those in our community, by doing all we can to help with gentleness.  And at this time, when emotions can get the better of us, let's seek God's help to maintain our own self-control.

Stay close to God, let the Holy Spirt grow his fruit in us every day, which will make us more like Jesus.

And at this time, let's make this our prayer for each other:

"I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your heart through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ and to know this love that surpasses knowledge – that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God." 
Ephesians 3: 16-19

God bless,

Melvyn
