You are a blessing!

A different perspective

Do you leave church on Sundays feeling just as dry as when you got there? Is it just a part of your routine? Do you feel discontented and unfulfilled?

Kris Vallotton once said, "It seems that many people are struggling to find the "right" church with the "right" pastor who has the "right" preaching style."

 I can relate, as many can.

But what if church was less about what you receive and more about what you give? What if you came, not to be blessed, but to be a blessing to the people around you?

What if we came expecting God to show up, move among us, and minister through us as He wanted and not as we scripted?

This is a different point of view for the church and, I believe, one that is missing in the church's collective way of thinking.

It's not about us.

It has never been.

It's about Him.

All about Him.

Jesus.

Hmmm.

As you prepare to go to church, pray for the Holy Spirit to show up as He desires, to use you as He desires, to minister to the body of believers you worship with.

If you're going to work, still, ask the Holy Spirit to show up and lead you as He wants. It will make work pretty interesting.

If He takes you out of your comfort zone - and He will! - that's okay because you're following His lead anyway.
