The Reward is Souls
This week has been crazy. I’m tired from a lot of emotional visits with friends and family. One precious friend in jail and looking at prison time, and one friend in the hospital. I’ve actually made a few trips to the hospital over the last few weeks to visit and pray with several people and their families.
With all the preaching opportunities, overseas outreaches, prophetic words and dreams, THIS is where the rubber meets the road. Being in full time ministry is heartbreaking, inspiring, infuriating, exhausting, and fulfilling all at the same time. Most of the time it is done in secret, without applause, or even gratitude. It’s not something you boast about or take pictures of. It’s sitting in the dirt, even the grave, and holding someone until they can get back on their feet and walk into the sunshine again. It’s being a friend. It’s being family. It’s just being there.
The rewards in heaven will likely be the souls that we had a hand in getting there. Let’s remember to be the light, especially when there is no limelight.
