From Dorothy Thompson’s blog Radical Adoration: I’m not sure I have the words to describe the Lord’s presence in this place. How do you explain the power of 142 blind patients given sight by the hands of our team through the grace of God? I smile listening to twenty-five girls, ages 4-10 singing worship songs and taking turns reading verses and praying for each other and praying for me. All I can say is, “I hope I am being the servant the Lord desires me to be.”
The following piece written by J.C. Ryal, speaks the words I can’t. “A zealous man of religion is preeminently a man of one thing. It’s not enough to say that he is earnest, hardy, uncompromising, whole-hearted, fervent in spirit. He only sees one thing. He cares for one thing. He lives for one thing. He is swallowed up by one thing, and that one thing is to please God. He burns for one thing, and that one thing is to please God and to advance God’s glory. He feels that, like a lamp, he is made to burn, and if consumed and burning, he has but done the work for which God appointed him.”
Oh, to be that person. This is my daily prayer, ‘Everything I have, all that I am, for thine is the Kingdom, the power, and the glory, forever.
