Today's Delight

~Your Ministry, Our Ministry~

"You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you. This is my command: Love each other" John 15:16-17

During my devotion time this morning, it occurred to me through my reading of, "Heaven Calling" that all of us have a ministry. We are all called to minister to each other. Every person is a gift from God to learn from, care for and
 minister to.

~Infectious Enthusiastic Faith~

"I have made you known to them, and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them."  John 17:26

There is something I have noticed about people who are in an intimate love relationship with the Lord. Their faith has an infectious enthusiasm about  it, it spreads easily without pushyness. They are positive upbeat people who others gravitate to without truly understanding why. The light of Christ within is a beacon that gently calls others out of dark places.

 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.  He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

~Something Powereful~

Our FAITH is very powerful. When we act upon our faith, it draws God, just like honey draws a bear or like a flower draws a bee. Our faith is sweet and beautiful to Him. He can not resist it. As God connects with the beautiful aroma of our faith, it is like fireworks as He releases His power into our lives. The end result  is always a luminous peace. New light that the trail of God's awesome power leaves behind as evidence of His manifest presence.
 
Take note, that in the account recorded in Mathew, the Lord is clear in stating that the strength of power released from God's heavenly vaults are

~Always Close~

The LORD is close to the broken hearted
and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
The righteous person may have many troubles,
but the LORD delivers him from them all;
Psalm 34:18-19 NIV

There are so many who are experiencing afflictions in some way, shape or form. The majority of our ministry team is going through various hardships, myself included. My heart has indeed been broken, but I take comfort in knowing that the Lord is always close and He will deliver me from the heaviness of heart that set in after loosing a friend to the darkness of depression.
