Ministry is an interesting thing you tend to see sides of people that you wish you never knew. I struggle with whether or not it is acceptable to hit people over the head to make them understand the foolishness of their ways. It is hard to see someone who knows the truth of Christ and decides to reject it. It's frustrating to see adults be disrespectful to decisions made by the leadership. It is extremely hard to understand how one can view Church as purely a social gathering, a recreational event.
The most disheartening part of it all is I sit here in my office acting somehow superior. I have struggles of my own that I have not completely conquered. Someone needs to hot me over the head allowing me to fall to my knees.
Dear God,
Have mercy on me, all of us. You are just and your ways above my comprehension. I can not fathom why you have chosen me to be a spokesman for you. Though I am confident you have please use me despite my weakness. Let the people I come in contact with smell your fragrance permeating through me. Keep me humble and lead me where to go.
The joy of the Lord is our strength. Keep relying on the Lord, Drewski, and you will mount up with wings like eagles. . . Saying a prayer for you.
ReplyDeleteIf only we could give (and just as humbly receive) a good ole Gibbs to Dinozzo slap on the back of the head when pride gets the best of us... Although I'd be worried that for every slap I hand out, I am going to get one in return... ouch.
