Do you know what’s going on in the lives of your church members? Do you need to be shaken a bit so the doors of your heart open wider to those around you? Is God calling you to invest in others? Order this book today!!
I spoke at a women’s retreat this past Saturday. A woman came up to me afterwards and unassumingly told me she’d written a book and handed it to me. It was a short encounter. But boy—was God making a powerful impact!
I came home and read her book. Her story has shaken me. I won’t spoil the story for you—but just let me say, “You may have a child sitting in your church who is being abused. You may have a woman who is about to step over the edge mentally and emotionally and doesn’t know where to turn. You are most assuredly surrounded by needs!” We can “play church”…or we can roll up our sleeves and help those God has brought to us. God always uses a two-edged scalpel—one side to help those in trouble and the other side to teach the helpers.
I remember the first time God asked me to help someone. I told the woman in crisis, “I don’t have all the answers—but God does! I can walk with you and pray with you and we can let God teach us.” That’s all you need to know to help others. In fact, in Cathy’s book, you’ll see that the people who ministered to her most just sat with her quietly.
Again…read the book. And raise your hand and tell God, “Pick me!” Let’s do more than sit in church and rub shoulders with people. Let’s partner with God and help others come out of the darkness and into God’s great and marvelous light!
