Hello Everyone!

It has been quite a while since I connected with you and it has been a very interesting year, to be sure! 

I was thinking recently about my line of work, and in fact all persons who work in the public eye whether they consider it a so called “ministry” or not.  We are told to be careful of our weight, how we dress, looking into the camera from the best side of our profile, “fashionista” dress from the stage. Such things are so shallow in the face of our Creator and God of the Universe.

In my devotions a few days ago I was reading about "THE MINISTRY OF THE UNNOTICED”.  We often hear the term “decide for Christ”.  It occurred to me that He has never asked me to decide FOR Him, but to YIELD to Him and that is a very different thing.  My reading stated that “the basis of Jesus Christ’s Kingdom is the unaffected loveliness of the commonplace. The thing I am really blessed in is my poverty. The true character of loveliness that tells for God is always unconscious.  Conscious influence is un-Christian.  If I should say –“am I of any use”  I instantly lose the bloom of the touch of the Lord. If I examine my outflow, I lose the touch of the Lord.”

Who are the people who have influenced you the most? Not the ones who thought they did, but those who had not the remotest thought that they did!  We always know when Jesus is at work because He produces in the commonplace that “something” which is inspiring! These thoughts have been a new inspiration to me in recent weeks and I hope they blessed you as well!
