Often times, in the midst of service and our every day activities, it is very hard to find joy in the things we do. Things get so busy and schedules are so hectic. Sometimes, we forget how enjoyable things can be. And then, coming back from an event as big as the International Leaders’ Conference, it is that much harder to not compare its success to other events. But if we are to always compare one event to another, we would never get anywhere. We sometimes forget that we must do everything with love, and if we do it with love, the work and its fruits will always be enjoyable.
If we do and acknowledge everything with love, we will recognize that victories are not only in the big events, but in the small ones as well! Victories that are seen even in the small things are victories seen in humility, and are victories claimed in His name. If we acknowledge that His presence is in every person and in every thing, we will be able to claim endless victories in His name, and wear a face of joy and rejoice! We must look at our lives with a lens big enough to see not only the big things, but the small things as well, and through a lens of simplicity so that we may always see God.
“Our joy is the best means to preach Christianity“.
– Mother Teresa
If we wear a face of joy, then people will not only hear us say that our God is enough, but FEEL the truth of the significance of His presence in our lives… that He is enough.
May He always be praised!
DEO GLORIA!
