Ezekiel 34:26
“I will bless them and the places surrounding my hill. I will send down showers in season; there will be showers of blessing.”
It is impossible to share the depths of my feelings experienced over the past two days. Never in all of my years of ministry have I been so overwhelmed by love and appreciation. I know I certainly do not deserve it, but it has been refreshing.
When I sent out Tuesday’s E-Votional titled “Live Daily!”, I honestly was not feeling downhearted or in any way slighted. But as I re-read the sentence, “I wonder how many people take the time to read them and if it is a waste of time,” I can see how it might appear that I was depressed.
Actually I was trying to get across the idea that the impact we have on others is not our responsibility, but God’s. One of our readers really hit it on the head: “A friend of mine was asking one day “Where is my fruit?” I told her that we don’t always see the fruit. Recently she explained that God has showed to her that she need not look for fruit and that he was the fruit inspector; she was the one who plants seeds and helps to water other lives.”
Wow! That says it all! I just want to thank all of you who wrote to share your love and appreciation. May God’s richest blessings shower down upon you and give you peace.
Blessings dear hearts. Draw near to God today, trust Him completely and be a blessing!
