The work of the ministry, work at it. You do not bless other people by drifting through life. Ministry is sharing God with people at the point of their need.
Have you thought of your influence in society as being one of mending and healing and tying up and putting together things that have been broken? You’ll find so many people, almost everybody you’ll ever meet is hurting somewhere. And if you can be of help and blessing and encouragement in easing just the pain of living, you will be such a blessing
God has placed different people in the Church with various abilities, various gifts. And you and I are never to ignore them nor indeed try to change them.
God’s grace is manifested within the boundaries of the kind of life, body, and circumstances that God, in His sovereign will, has given to you and to me.
He works His Will in your personality. The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long suffering, gentleness, goodness, meekness, temperance, faithfulness.
Read your Bible and you’ll find people in both the Old and New Testament wondering whether God forgot them — but He hasn’t.. If we become too routine in eternal matters, we risk turning out to be shallow, empty, fruitless, and unsatisfied.
