How do I sum up my first week of ministry here in Thailand? How could I possibly attempt to explain how my God has taken my world and completely turned it upside down? My eyes have been opened. My heart has been broken. Nothing stops here though. My eyes have been opened to see what God’s eyes have the ability to see, brokenness made beautiful and hope restored. My heart has been broken, and then put back together with the perfect love of Christ.
I want to see what He sees. I want to love how He loves.
Yesterday, I had the opportunity to go to the new property site Goh Sirey. With four of my beautiful sisters, I was able to learn a little something called hard work. In the form of a few yard tools, some buckets, and used tires, God intricately designed an afternoon of discovery and realization. As I was hacking away on the side of a cliff of dirt and transporting dirt, rocks, and mud into tires near a little pond to form a wall…I realized that God wants us to get dirty. Yes, I was covered with mud, but I am not quite just referring to the dirt on our clothes.
The word I would use to sum up my first week of ministry is LOVE. God loves us with an unending, unstoppable love. His love is relentless. His love is unending. His love is more than anything we could ever understand or comprehend.
Ohhh, how He loves us!
This love is not just something to write about and it is certainly not just something to talk about. He wants us to SHARE it. I refuse to just tell you about the incredible love of my Savior. I want to get dirty so that I can share His love. I want to help build a new ministry site where God’s beautiful daughters can find hope and restoration. I want to be a part of an organization that believes in the power of Christ. I believe in the impossible because nothing is impossible for God. I want to live each and every day of my life getting dirty for Him.
A relationship with Jesus Christ is hard work. He may ask you to get dirty for Him. He wants you to SHARE His love.
“What we know about God and what we do for God have a way of getting broken apart in our lives. The moment the organic unity of belief and behavior is damaged in anyway, we are incapable of living out the full humanity for which we were created.” –Eugene Peterson
