A Life Poured Out: The Joy of Serving Beyond Ourselves
Our recent ministry trip to Mexico was a powerful reminder that true joy is found in serving others. From deep fellowship with believers to witnessing our children embrace the work of the kingdom, we saw firsthand how God’s love transforms lives. Whether through preaching, music, or simple acts of service, this journey affirmed that we were created not for self-fulfillment, but to love, give, and pour ourselves out for Christ. As we reflect on the relationships built, the lessons learned, and the grace given, we are reminded that the greatest purpose in life is to glorify God and serve His people with joy.
The Cost of Selfishness and the Rewards of Love
We raise our children not for immediate pleasure but for a continuity of faith, a generational fire that will burn until the Lord returns. We give up our time, our pride, our selfish wants, all for the King’s glory. And at life’s end, those who chose this path will find themselves surrounded by blessings, hope, cheerfulness, and growth. The selfish, however, spin inward, trapped in a narrowing, solitary orbit.
