Sometimes life can seem out of control!! Between work, school, being a mother and wife, and church responsibilities, I wonder what opportunity do I have to minister to the needs of "outsiders". I have come to realize more and more that true ministry opportunities arise every day. It is a matter of whether I acknowledge them and make the most of those moments.
We minister to others through our gracious responses in tough situations. We minister to others when we go out of our way to make sure that their needs are being met. We minister to others by being a listening ear. People want to be known! Jesus was great at taking time to get to know people. He made the everyday person feel loved and valued.
Do my words and actions make others feel loved and valued? Is my life seasoned with his gracious responses? Salt is a flavor enhancer, a preserver, and makes you thirsty. May my actions enhance my relationships, preserve and protect those around me, and make those that I come in contact with thirsty for Him!
Nice reminder.
