YOUR SERVICE, YOUR WORSHIP

"Faithful servants never retire. You can retire from your career, but you will never retire from serving God." - Rick Warren 

Service

To fully grasp the meaning of Rick Warren's statement above, you'll need to change your goggles. William Arthur Ward once said, "The more generous we are, the more joyous we become. The more cooperative we are, the more valuable we become. The more enthusiastic we are, the more productive we become. The more serving we are, the more prosperous we become." There is a wrong notion about service, and how or why it is done today.

Prosperity, or success as defined by the world is very different from How God, our creator, sees it. Prosperity and success to Him, is growing in what He's assigned you, and using what He's given you to glorify Him. We do not have to wait to become a worship leader in the choir to worship God. We can do so everyday, all day, every time we go to work, school, or even the market.

YOUR WORTH DETERMINES YOUR PAIN 9; THE STEPS

"Transformation is a process, and as life happens there are tons of ups and downs. It's a journey of discovery - there are moments on mountain tops and moments in deep valleys of despair." - Rick Warren

Change is the only permanent thing. Processes abound everywhere; graduation is not an end but a commencement of something more laudable. More responsibility. However, every change initiates a movement to another phase.

In pregnancy, the process continues from fertilization to conception with several changes along the line. These changes cause terrible biological and physical discomfort to the mother: It is an uncomfortable experience. Understand that, the pain the mother goes through during pregnancy is nothing compared to that she experiences on the day of delivery. Not at all. This pain isn't meant to kill her, but to produce something new. If the developing foetus doesn't go through all the required processes it comes out deformed. The same way we become deformed if we don't go through the complete process of refining.
