All ears
This excerpt from Anne Michaels' Fugitive Pieces really epitomises ministry:
"You listened, not like a priest who listens for sin, but like a sinner, who listens for his own redemption. What a gift you had for making one feel clear, for making one feel - clean."

On being a servant of God
I just started reading a book by Warren W.Wiersbe called On Being A Servant Of God.
The opening few pages really made a tremendous impact on me. He wrote his definition of ministry: Ministry takes place when divine resources meet human needs through loving channels to the glory of God.
He went on further to write: If you and I are going to serve Jesus Christ - the way God wants us to minister and the way the apostles ministered - we must
1. know the divine resources personally
2. see the human needs compassionately
3. become channels of God's mighty resources so that
4. God alone is glorified.
I stopped reading at this point because I wanted to reflect on these words and allow the Holy Spirit to bring a deeper revelation of them into my heart, my mind, my soul and my spirit.

Let me be worthy
Let me be worth of the price that set me free
Let me be worthy of the blood You shed for me
Let me be worthy of the pain that You suffered for my gain
Let me be worthy of the price You paid for me.
Let me be worthy of the blood You shed for me

A tribute to Keith Green: No Compromise
Today, the Lord brought Keith Green to my mind. I spent the past two hours listening to his music through youtube videos. His voice brought back many memories of the time when I was helping my aunt in her chain of Christian bookstores. Many of his songs left a deep impression on me. I admired his spirit and I liked his message even more: No Compromise.
I thought I'd post links to the Keith Green songs which influenced me tremendously in my Christian faith.
Asleep in the night
Create in me a clean heart
Make my life a prayer to you
Oh Lord you're beautiful
To obey is better than sacrifice
