Just got in, after an evening serving but mostly being little miss chatterbox, to the people who come to the food Kitchen in our Nuneaton Church and it was brilliant..
Lots of great chats and love shown... Its brilliant when you get to show Gods love in really simple practical ways..like giving someone some nice warm apple crumble to eat and they go back for 2 more portions or give out a coat/blanket to keep them warm, when they are sleeping rough in really rubbish places..
I was reading the below scripture yesterday from Ephesians 2 and it really spoke to me, about how I go about carrying this this church time in my life as sometimes I can carry too much ....
'7-10Now God has us where he wants us, with all the time in this world and the next to shower grace and kindness upon us in Christ Jesus. Saving is all his idea, and all his work. All we do is trust him enough to let him do it. It's God's gift from start to finish! We don't play the major role. If we did, we'd probably go around bragging that we'd done the whole thing! No, we neither make nor save ourselves. God does both the making and saving. He creates each of us by Christ Jesus to join him in the work he does, the good work he has gotten ready for us to do, work we had better be doing.
I love that its his work and he loves me being a part of it... It's not my job to way myself down with thinking' its how good we are as a team.' He saves not us !
He has showered me with grace and kindness, now I get to do the same to his hurting sons and daughters..
Flippin awesome...
