Your help is needed!

I really want to share something with you today because experiencing it myself has been so uplifting, friend. Recently, I was invited to a church I wasn’t familiar with. The initial contact was through WhatsApp, and I assumed I was communicating directly with the pastor. Upon arrival, I was warmly greeted by someone who made me feel immediately welcomed with a heartfelt smile.

However, when I was greeted by the actual pastor of the church, who also radiated warmth, I realized who was who. I was pleasantly surprised when my initial contact said:

"You know, my wife and I appreciate our pastor and his wife so much! For many years, we've been by their side, supporting them and serving their vision. I wish people understood how blessed it is to live like this!"

Oh friend, I don't know if you're feeling the same way as I am, but this touched me deeply! In a time when we're all so self-focused, seeking recognition for every small good deed we do, it's becoming harder for us to serve others who have been given a great vision by God because we fear being left behind or coming up short.

I firmly believe that some people miss out on blessings because of this. You know, even Moses longed for help during his mission!

So, God provided Aaron to assist him, and from then on, it says in the Bible, "They went together…" (Exodus 4:29 NIV), or "Moses and Aaron went to the king…" (Exodus 5:1 NIV), or even "Then Moses and Aaron replied…." (Exodus 5:3 NIV). What a blessing it must have been for Aaron to experience this!

It's better to serve another's vision than to remain frustrated!

I mean it sincerely, friend. Who could you lend a hand to... and thereby grasp the blessing that awaits you 😉.

You are a miracle!
