Church Letter Writing Success Mini Course - Tip 2 of 13
Church Letter Writing Success Mini Course - Tip 2 of 13
It is recommended you use all 13 Tips in your Ezine
Our second lesson in "13 Tips For Church Letter Writing
Success" will build off the letter "H" in our Church Letters
acrostic.
Last week, it was:
C - Be Clear
Today, it is:
H - Be Hopeful
One of the reasons for writing the letter is to encourage
the receiver, and to provide inspiration and hope for tomorrow.
They will appreciate your positive approach to the situation,
and you can certainly do this without being "fake".
Doesn't the Word of God provide hope for each and every
situation? Philip. 4:13 - "I can do everything through him
who gives me strength." People need to be reminded of the
fact that God is in control regardless of our ability to
understand ALL His ways.
When I say, be "hopeful", I simply mean have a tone of
hopefulness in your letter writing, as well as when you speak
with them face to face, or on the phone. People will often
gain new strength for the next day when they realize someone
else believes in them, as well as offering assurance of our
God who is in ultimate control!
People will be well served when they read or hear your
communication, and go away with the attitude, "you know, I
believe I really CAN do all things through Christ!"
Below is your second complimentary letter which you may
modify and use in your own church communications.
(Church Letter to Discouraged Christian)
I understand that you are going through a difficult time
right now, and I wanted to encourage you that God cares about
you very much, and His desire is for you to find peace and
joy in Him.
This world can be a sad and scary place at times. We must
remember that this world is not our home, and that even in
the midst of the worst day of our lives, God is still in
control. We don’t always understand why He lets certain
things happen the way they do, but we must trust Him.
Job gives us a beautiful example of trusting God through
even the most difficult of times. Remember that Job had
lost everything that was dear to him. He had been stripped
of his wealth, lost all of his children and then even his
health was failing. And then Job, amazing servant of God,
spoke these words:
Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him - Job 13:15 (KJV)
It is not easy to have that type of faith, but we must try.
Whatever you are going through, Jesus understands. The Bible
tells us that Jesus was tempted in every single way that we
are tempted (Hebrews 4:15 KJV). That includes fear,
depression, loneliness and discouragement.
We might FEEL alone sometimes, but we are not. Jesus is
always right there with us, and He cares very much about
the things you care about. The things that are important
to you are important to Him. Even during the times that
you don’t feel that way, it’s important to remember that
it’s the truth.
He loves you so much, and so do so many in this church body.
It hurts me to see you hurting, and my prayer is that, by
learning to rest your cares on Jesus, you will be able to
find some measure of peace.
If there is anything I can do, or if you’d just like to talk,
feel free to contact me or make an appointment through the
church secretary.
You are very important to God, and you are a very important
part of First Christian Church.
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and
I will give you rest.
Matthew 11:28 (KJV)
In Christ,
Pastor John Doe
