I Corinthians 15:58 says:
Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.
There is truth in that! There's comfort in that for ministry work. There's a promise in there, too!
God is SO good. We must stand firm in our belief in Him, in our faith in Him...
I will not be moved...except to do MORE in ministry.
The work of the Lord, if I give myself fully to it, I can KNOW that it is not in vain. There is a purpose for it all. And, so the word, 'give' speaks to my heart of hearts. Giving to Our God, fully of myself. It looks a lot like an act of worship. Everything I do, because I was created to worship the God of the Universe, the God of Abraham, Isaac & Jacob, should be done in a spirit of worship. Even writing in this blog.
Speaking to a lonely woman. Cleaning out my basement. Doing menial tasks.
Laughing. Crying. Studying. Knitting.
Driving my car. Singing. Typing. Listening. Praying.

Great is our Lord and worthy to be praised. Your blog is a worship to Him from your heart. You give well my sister in Christ. I am always wrestling with whether my worship is to Him or for "me". I am studying A Woman of Worship and wanting to study it with other women too. Your words are encouraging to me to keep on. Thank you. keep giving:)
