The other day I read

"1 Timothy 4:11-16" And I was amazed at how God wants us to know how important it is to allow ourselves the freedom of embracing our ministries. I guess the fact that we all have ministries is what truly shines for me. You see the Lord gave me wisdom to see that the body of Christ are like Neurons to the body. And neurons are electrical transmitters that send information throughout the body so that we can do things like breath, think, keep the heart pumping and so much more. Neurons are information transmitters, they process and pass it on.

What are we scientists now?

(Dude?!? Really lol) ---> As the body of Christ we are called to be like neurons by working on our self development according to God's word and then sharing it with the people we come in contact with. "Process & pass it on"

While I truly encourage you to read 1 Timothy 4:11-16 I will highlight this.

"Practice and work hard on these things; be absorbed in them (completely occupied in your ministry), so that your progress will be evident to all. Pay close attention to yourself (concentrate on your personal development) and to your teaching; for as you do this you will ensure salvation both for yourself and for those who hear you." - 1Timothy 4:15-16

You see, no ministry is too small in the eyes of God because God is all about the details. He knows that some will reach mighty rivers and oceans and others will conquer hidden corners and places unseen; but when we all move we are a like a deep breath filling the bodies lungs over and over again. We are the internal life pumping heart beat that keeps the canals of the body alive and functioning. We are truly "A BODY" of Christ and it is so important that you believe and absorb yourself in the gifts that God gave you and to use them with the Holy Spirit whom God sent to us. Because when we do, whether we see it or not we become a living organism shouting the word of God to the world and beyond.

If someone needs inspiration they can go to "A Great Life" (see what i did there? hehe)

if someone needs transformation they can go to "Transformation Church" if someone needs help in other ways they can come to your ministry! Some of you are teachers, coaches, musicians, writers, thinkers, growers, lawyers, doctors and so much more! Your ministry matters!

Every little bit matters, what you have matters, your ministry is vital to survival and today God wants you to remember that and be confident in it. Forget about "views, audience, and whatever you feel is missing". If God wants it to grow it will grow, but not without "Personal Development". You have to walk the walk and talk the talk. No half stepping because we represent Christ. Remember Moses didn't make it to the promised land because his anger mis represented God. He still made it to heaven. (just in case you didn't know lol)

So, emerse yourself unapologetically in what God is calling you to do. Continue working on yourself according to God's word and walk confidently understanding that you are a key component in the body of Christ continuing to live on earth. You (we) are so important! And God loves you dearly.

Because you deserve to live a Great Life.
