Romans 1:11-12
For I am longing to see you so that I may share with you some spiritual gift to strengthen you-or rather so that we may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith, both yours and mine.
When I first started coming to All Saints I met 3 women who inspired me with their faith –Helen, Janice and Marlene. These women helped me to identify what gifts I could use in the church to serve the Lord. I didn’t think my God-given gifts and faith showed outside the church in my daily life- an eager helper, always smiling with a good sense of humor.
At my last permanent job a fellow processor came up to me at a business function and said I was a woman of faith. After I made it through the 2 years without a permanent job people told me how I showed my faith. In my first review my manager praised my positive attitude during the busy, stressful times.
Honestly, during the low periods I’ve had so far in my life after the time of arguing with God, worrying and not smiling I came to the conclusion that faith was the only route to go. Each time it gets easier to do it. Once you give the worries to God a tremendous weight is lifted off your shoulders, a smile comes back to your face and yes, you can even laugh again.
Try today to give just one worry up to God. I’m sure you won’t regret it.
