John 15:19 The world would love you as one of its own if you belonged to it, but you are no longer part of the world. I chose you to come out of the world, so it hates you.
Being part of something that is greater and bigger than ourselves makes us feel wanted, needed and accepted. God chose us to be His children & share in the blessings of His family. We have been chosen out of the world, so we don't have to live by the world's expectations anymore. We are accepted by God just the way we are. He sees how special we are because we have been personally and individually chosen by Him to be His representative and share His good news in the world. God is working His purposes in us, daily. He has given us His gifts, talents, & abilities to fulfill our destinies. If we have been rejected in our past, God wants us to know that we are important and needed right where we are! Let's go out and live like chosen children of God--today! :-)
I received one of the nicest ministry compliments I've ever gotten this weekend. I was told there are three significant things that make up a ministry. One is to be passionate about what your doing. Two is to love. Three is to be authentic. He said this ministry is all three. Thank you so much for taking the time to pray for us and encourage us. Everybody needs to know they are loved and appreciated, even ministers.... Never ever forgot how much I love y'all!!
