Day 8: Tuesdays

I look forward to Tuesdays every week. Here's why: On Tuesdays Patricia and I go to a fishing village and study the Word with a small group of believers. We meet in the home of a young couple that have recently believed in Jesus. The two of them, two of us, our national partner, and two older ladies (who have been believers for awhile) all sit together, open our Bibles (in three different languages) and talk about it together. 

They are faithful. They are obedient to the Word. They are hungry for more. And they are discovering the joy that comes with life in Christ. They are listening to the Spirit. 

He is more kind and generous and loving than I ever could have imagined.

 

Sitting on the floor together, I look up and think, "How is this possible? How did this happen? We are worlds apart culturally. We have nothing in common, but I love these people about as much as you can love anybody." And the Spirit inside of me reminds me that we have the most important thing in common. Him. And that is only because of His love, His grace...Oh, where would we be without it?! He put His Spirit inside each one of us...crazy, right?! 

I cannot thank God enough for allowing me to be a part of something so wonderful--Him! ...especially on Tuesdays! :)
