I believe with all my heart that as we allow God to take His rightful place, many of the other areas of life find a way of working out as we are dependent upon His wisdom. James 1:5 says: If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Wisdom means more than just knowledge. It means using the knowledge that God gives to us in a right way, at the right time, and in the right place. This is the kind of wisdom God grants to us without finding fault!<\/p>\n<p>My letter to you is not about finding fault, but it is simply meant to encourage you to guard well your relationship with the Lord and His family.<\/p>\n<p>Blessings in Christ,<br \/>\nPASTOR\u2019S NAME<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>The sample letter seen above is one of over 1,000 letters available at https:\/\/churchletters.org. \u00a0These letters may be accessed with a paid membership and are to be used within the context of your own ministry setting. \u00a0This letter is copyrighted material and may not be used for any commercial purposes by anyone other than those who represent https:\/\/ChurchLetters.org. \u00a0 This link MAY be shared via Social Media, but the link must send the user directly to this site.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I write briefly to let you know that you have been missed at church the past few weeks.
