So powerful...this really hits the bullseye. I recall an Easter worship set where I fought tears, barely able to sing because a church member chewed me out before service for not including the hymn "Up From the Grave He Arose". If I'm truly in it for the Kingdom, not comfort, the Holy Spirit will teach me how to love beyond the platform, where it matters most. To all of you who can relate in any way to this post, I echo: "Thank you for showing up."
That gets my heart, Carmen! Thank you for sharing a part of your story. And such truth, "If I'm truly in it for the Kingdom, not comfort, the Holy Spirit will teach me how to love beyond the platform, where it matter most." That is where the deepest parts of ministry are found. Love you and your beautiful heart, your passion, life, wisdom, biblical knowledge, and leadership. It's an honor to serve you, serve with you, and live out God's kingdom plan!
