Live a Meaning Full Life
Sermon Notes
1 You have searched me, Lord,
and you know me.
2 You know when I sit and when I rise;
you perceive my thoughts from afar.
3 You discern my going out and my lying down;
you are familiar with all my ways.
4 Before a word is on my tongue
you, Lord, know it completely.
5 You hem me in behind and before,
and you lay your hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too lofty for me to attain.
7 Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence?
8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
if I settle on the far side of the sea,
10 even there your hand will guide me,
your right hand will hold me fast.
- Psalm 139:1-10

It happened again yesterday. You know, when you are mad that a server, store worker, or public servant is rude to you or made a mistake? I was frustrated and was about to text a friend how horrible this lady was to me, but God convicted me. I immediately thought, “she is just as human as me.”
“Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you have a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.” (Colossians 3:12-14)
Pandemic or not, we have to extend grace to everyone around us. I did not know this ladies’ circumstances just as she did not know mine. As we continue to get further into what feels like a never-ending pandemic, we have to remember to extend grace. Remember, more than ever, we need to fully “put on love” as we continue to be the hands and feet of Jesus.
