Scripture:
Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently. But watch yourselves, or you also may be tempted. Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. Galatians 6:1-2
Lesson:
When you have decided to turn your life over to Jesus, you are ready to say YES to service.
Y – Yield myself to God
Yield myself to God to be used to bring this Good News to others, both by my example and by my words.
E – Example is what is important
Your walk needs to match your talk because your lifestyle reflects what you believe.
S – Serve others as Jesus Christ did
You are ready to pick up the “Lord’s Towel,” the one with which He washed the disciples’ feet in the upper room.
HOW YOU CAN SAY YES:
Be an accountability partner
Look for someone who will agree to encourage and support you as you work through your recovery journey. You agree to do the same for that person. You hold one another accountable for working an honest program.
Be a sponsor
Sponsors are people who have worked their own recoveries. Sponsors give a gentle nudge to people who are new to their journey or slow them down when they are rushing.
Be involved in a recovery group and your church
There are many opportunities for service in a recovery ministry and in your church.
Prayer:
Dear Jesus, as it would please You, bring me someone today whom I can serve. Amen
