Union and Communion: this is the essence of Christianity.

Ministry is being one of theses sent out ones, a labourer of love.

It's not complicated. Just love the one in front of you.

Sometimes we make things too complicated when we really need to remember that the kingdom belongs to children.

To be a son or daughter of God also means you are royalty. This is the greatest of privileges, but it is also an awesome responsibility. If you are truly thankful to God and want to please Him with all your heart, you must do more than just recognize your own authority. You must use it. He asks you to give love as freely as you have received it— not just to those who deserve it but also to everyone He puts in front of you.

If we are not full of Him we have nothing to offer to anyone else.

I believe that Jesus would have given His life for just one person. Jesus emptied Himself, He humbled Himself and He so yielded Himself to His Father's love that He had no ambition of His own. He was not looking to build an empire, He did not want praise or adulation or to impress people with who or how many followed Him. He stopped over and over again for just one person, for just one life.
