To Bring Glory and Honor to God

Well, it's been a while.

As I was helping a friend set up her blog today, I came here and was quite embarrassed to find that it's been almost three years since I started my blog with only two posts. Where does the time go? Life happens, and we become sidetracked when children marry, parents become ill, and roles change.

Still through it all, in this journey of life, my desire is to have a clean mind and a pure heart to serve God.

This morning our pastor talked about the self-righteous and how important our motives are. WHY do I want a ministry? WHY do I want to serve God? My primary purpose is not to bring attention to myself but rather to bring glory and honor to God. I must first and foremost focus on Jesus and then focus on encouraging and helping others.

Women's ministry has been a passion of mine for several years, and I pray that God will keep me focused on Him in all that I do as I seek to serve. I don't want any part of a ministry where ego is involved and where focus is placed on an organization or a person other than our Lord. There is simply no place for that in serving Jesus.



Lord Jesus, please give me a clean mind and a pure heart as I serve You. Please help me stay focused and seek your will in all that I do. Lord, I ask you to please open doors where you want me to serve, and please bless my efforts with your favor. I love you, Lord, and I give you praise and glory today. In Jesus' name. Amen
