Joy is a blessing, not a right!
January 19th, 2010
I’m just now coming off one of those weekends that serves as a good reminder of exactly what God has called me to do, and why I continually try to do it.
I saw people step out of their situations to generously give to people in need.
I saw churches unite under the mission of The Church for greater effectiveness.
I saw the Gospel change people’s lives and perspectives.
I saw people worship God with all they have.
I realize that not every pastor gets to see these things happen every week or even in their lifetime, and that I am incredibly blessed. It’s a blessing that God can fill my heart as I serve him because as my friend Mike reminded all of us at Horizon on Sunday, “He doesn’t owe it to me!”
Joy is a blessing, not a right!
