The power to serve

Question of the Time: How often does a woman offer the most meaningful service to God by doing what seems to be the least important thing to the world?

In the Bible, The seacost city of Joppa was no longer the same after Dorcas returned to life.  Upon hearing and seeing the miracle of the living Dorcas, many turned to the Lord and believed.  No doubt this generous disciple, gifted with skilled fingers and a heart for the Lord, picked up her needle and thread and continued her compassionate and benevolent ministry to all who live around her. 

There is no spiritual gift too small.  This woman had a spiritual gift that lifted many up in glory of the Lord.  As I sat in church, I saw the gift of dance lift up a whole church.  Going into the new year, I am quite center in my light and still am going into the next year glorify the Lord.  I know that he does not make any mistakes and every obstacle brought before me handling it.  At the end of the day, I only strive to serve him and listen to his voice.  The people may not understand my decisions but know this. I have seek counselor in all I do and will never hinder my spiritual gifts to jeopardize any of it. 

A woman holds so many hats of being a lover, child, wife, mother, cousin, sister, and many more.  A woman has the power to serve.  The power to serve what a gift.

Question of the Time: How often does a woman offer the most meaningful service to God by doing what seems to be the last important thing to the world?
