Thoughts on Ministry

Be careful what you wish & pray for

Posted in Uncategorized on 12.04.10 by Merlyn

Well, the ministry journey is always an amazing one. Last week I had coffee with a colleague in ministry, and our conversation was a real blessing for us both. I was reminded about how powerful God is…and how overwhelming wonderful it is to be called to ministry—to be called to be a part of experiencing and bringing about the kingdom here on earth. I would not trade it for the world, but the longer I do it the more I realize that God will always overwhelm me. Its a good overwhelming, but not always an easy one. I think about my current ministry setting. Its the healthiest and best I have experienced in many years. I have such great hope that all of the dreams and desires of my heart; the ones that have come from God may actually come to fruition. The floodgates have been open. The dam has been cracked. I am happy and the answer to prayer, but I also find myself overwhelmed as I see it all coming, as I try to balance it all. Then I stop and remember that this is what I asked for…and more importantly it is not about me. So God, I have my raft and I look down the river and think…what a ride this is going to be. Keep me safe. Keep me focused on the source and not the dangers and fears of the journey.

 

Thanks God for the call.
