WE ARE UNCOMMON PEOPLE!
In the late 1930’sD J Depree a Christian and president of Herman Miller Furniture Company and his Jewish colleague James Eppinger faced the fact that their Company was bankrupt.
They decided not to focus on what had gone wrong with their company but with the whole industry. They concluded that if you worked with your hands you were common but if you worked with your mind you were uncommon and superior. They both concluded that “All people are created in God’s image, like him they were therefore all special. The company is now renowned world wide for it’s excellent labour relationships.
Everyone bears the image of God and racial ,ethnic, social and educational barriers are unimportant.
“ Lord forgive us if we think we are superior to others Help us to remember that before sin distorted all of us we were all, and still are, unique people created in your image.”
Of all Creation’s treasures rare
Not one compares in with humans
In God’s own image we were made
To fill a place in His great plan.
Our value is not measured in what we make of ourselves but by the one who made us.
TIME FOR FRIENDSHIP A friend loves at all times Proverbs 17 verse 17
Jesus said to his first disciples and he says it still “No longer do I call you servants ...but I have called you friends. Why? Read John’s Gospel chapter 15 verses 12-17 to find out. TIME is a friend when you use it to strengthen your friendship with Jesus! Our life can be so busy. That we have no time for friends But we must spend
more time with Jesus For his friendship never ends
Without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. “Hebrews 11 verse 6
