I needed some encouragement this morning... Sometimes it's hard being in ministry. Paul knew all about it. Reading Acts, I see all this great stuff that happened and I really desire God to do that in my own life and in our church. But when I think about it, I notice that I often just glance over the things that were probably very discouraging times for Paul. Virtually everywhere he went, there were people that didn't believe. And actually the ones that didn't believe were usually more than the ones that did, and they were more persuasive because he usually got ran out of town! Things definitely aren't that bad for me! I'm sure he got discouraged, but he didn't look at the circumstances, but the call of God on his life. He says, "[God] has given us the ministry of... reconciling the world to Himself." That's a big job! One that can't be given up on and is bound to be difficult. Besides, it's not me that has to accomplish the job. It's Him.

Don't be discouraged. God is using you in mighty ways in Alvarado. God has changed lives of so many of the youth through you. Just keep letting Him use you. I love you!
