And, you thought you were ministering to him! :)<BR/><BR/>I will admit, in all honesty, there were times I ministered to people because I was expected to do so and because they paid me to do it. Normally, it was the people who caused me so much grief, you know the ones. They never said a kind word to me, either to my face or behind my back. Most of the time they were too busy sharpening their knife to stab me.<BR/><BR/>I quickly learned, that if I ministered to them for any other reason than love or care, I was wrong! And, in truth, I was no better than them. I was allowing my anger to get the best of me and control me.<BR/><BR/>When I turned that over to the Lord and asked for His help, it was amazing the changes that took place. No, not always in them, but in ME! And, to be honest, I was the one who needed the most changes anyway!M. Steve Heartsillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08211281863465356959noreply@blogger.com
