Expectations for Ministry

I expect that God will use me simply as a worker in His kingdom. I come to His service only with the gifts and talents that he has given me and expect only the same love for me that he had if I were not serving. I expect that I will be faced with many new opportunities to grow in my flexibility but as I understand it - flexibility is not even a strong enough word for ministry. I know that God will grow me spiritually as well and will gift me with new perspective and new love for people I never knew. I expect a clearer direction for my life's call to ministry. After I leave this position what will I do and how can I express what God has done while in this position? God knows and will not let me fail. God will provide the field and the seeds of the word and will even provide the water of love and faith, all I need to do is go and seek Him in everything I do. I have served in different positions before and I understand that those who are under the influence of my ministry are going through each of their own spiritual journeys and I expect that God will want me to help them in any way I can. God will move and will always manifest his love in the people in ways I will never understand. I expect his grace to be abundant.

    Favorite Quotes:
    "I realize that it isn't very fashionable to talk about some things as being holy; nevertheless, if we ever want to rid ourselves of personal and corporate emptiness, brokenness, loneliness, and fear, we will have to allow ourselves room for that which we cannot see, hear, touch, or control."

    "If we're really honest with ourselves, there are probably times when we think, 'What possible use can I be in this world? What need is tehre for seombody like me to fill?' That's one of the deeper mysteries. Then God's grace comes to us in the form of another person who tells us we have been of help, and what a blessing that is."
