Someone You Should Know

Witness to Faith

Reflections from Cass Lake, 2007…………………
 

     Yesterday, Ross (a Youth Works leader) talked about our memories and attitude of our mission. He said “Don’t remember me, or the house you painted or the kids you played with………it’s all about God.”

     This statement really got me thinking. It pushed me beyond a plateau I’d reached. I don’t expect a thank you for helping out, I don’t say to myself, “Look what I did………..”   God received His glory. But wait……..

     Jesus said the poor will always be with us. God expects us to serve Him. He expects us to treat everyone with the same amount of respect – rich or poor, pretty or not. He expects us to be missionaries. Although I know I am pleasing God, this trip is not    another “jewel in my crown”. It’s a humbling thought.

     Memories of the trip – the painted house, the kids, etc – they’re a tool for me to use to give glory to God.

     It’s all about giving glory to God.
