Dr. Busic, in his sermon this past Sunday, mentioned some names. Names of Christians that some of us had never heard of: men and women who, in the early twentieth century, caused their light to shine brightly in the world by reaching out to the "unwanted" of society. Their ministry was not engaged in for any sort of accolade. They just simply did what God asked them to do, His loving commendation their only reward.
And here we are, some one hundred years later.
Not everyone has the capacity to run an orphanage or to give compassionate care to hundreds of unwed mothers. But I'd like to believe that every one of us has something valuable to offer in joyful, exuberant service to God. Not for accolades, but simply because we love as He loves.
We do our ministry work as an offering of gratitude to God.
What has He asked you to do in His name?
