Oswald Chambers said, "The only way to survive in ministry is to steadfastly refuse to be interested in ministry and to be interested only in Jesus Christ."
This is good to be remembered! It's not the work we do for God through church ministry, etc., that gains us His favor ... it's only what we do through Him that matters, and how are we to know what He's involved in unless we're right there with Him constantly?
And so I have come to believe that worship is not a matter of my trying to get God's attention, but of my listening for the call of God.
Mom, I seriously think that you and I are turning "pentacostal" in our old age. :-) This idea of a personal relationship is incredible and very real. He speaks!
Thank you so much for sharing... while i skimmed it the first time, something told me to come back and dive in. Considering that i have essentially been banished from my family, i know God is reaching out to me. He has something in store, but if i dont seek Him, i willnever know what or where. ~~valencia
