God knows what your calling is. It might not be what you think. Some of the most impactful moments of my ministry have been standing before one person, looking them in their eyes, being there with them in the moment of their need, and God saying, "I want you to show them that I love them by being love TO them." Love is the greatest spiritual gift that God has given any one of us. Do not be fooled. There is no greater gift than the gift of love. I don't care what you can do or think you can do - if you can't love. That's what Paul said in 1 Corinthians 13. And that's what he said in the midst of great confusion to the church that lost sight of that. If this church cannot ooze out and project love, it will fail - and it should! It's finding people who come in here who need God's love and want God's love.
Our core mission is to go out and show this community and our families and everyone we encounter how amazing God's love is! I'm telling you, if God invades your heart with the truth of the Word of God, through your Christian experience, and empowers you through the Holy Spirit the ability to show through acts of kindness and speaking the truth to others and reveal the amazing Love of God, you're gonna be a powerful force! Not only is God loving, His love is amazing, it is unmatched!
