MY MINISTRY MOTTO

Forget the things that are behind;
forget injuries, slights, unkind words.
Be too big to be hurt; too great to be unkind;
too busy to quarrel; too wise to engage in unseemly gossip;
too strong to permit little annoyances
to turn you from life's main course;
too clean to stain your character
with any kind of impurity.

This the secret of the holy
Not our holiness, but HIM
Jesus! empty us and fill us
With your fullness to the brim.

Oooo! Wonderful! Greatly put! Thank you for that poem. Twas very encouraging and true! If we can only remember that Jesus is the reason for what we do, ah, then, and ONLY then, will be we able to have an outlook on life that can enable us to live fully and minister totally for Him. :) Thank you for the reminder!

I can't wait until we can come up there! Only a matter of weeks now!

God is good!

Blessings! ~Tessa
