I would never thought of writing a blog were it not for my dear friend and prayer partner Jeannine. She's always after me to share the things God brings to my mind. So, thank you Jeannine. All the glory, as we both know, goes to God. Psalm 115:1
1 Corinthians 16:17-18 "I was glad when Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus arrived, . . . . . . For they refreshed my spirit and yours also. Such men deserve recognition."
I thought, who refreshes MY spirit the way these men refreshed Paul's? There are LOTS of you!
I've been refreshed in spirit this week through my prayer partners, who face difficult things with Holy Spirit given courage, who make changes in their lives even though they're hard, who live by their faith, who want to be all the Lord has in mind for them to be.
I'm refreshed every single week through the Body of Christ at Montvale. My spirit is lifted by your worship, your service, your compassion for others, your love.
I'd love to name names, but I know I'd leave people out. Maybe a written note is due. Paul said such people as you, "deserve recognition".
My next question to myself is: Whose spirit needs refreshing and how can I be God's instrument to refresh them? I'm going to be watching for God's divine opportunities.
Find someone who refreshes YOUR spirit and give them a word of thanks. And look around for someone else who's spirit God wants to refresh through you.
