Lord,
I want to spend this life encouraging others, to love them because you loved me even while I was still just a sinner. I want to encourage WABC, individually and as a whole. The father of lies doesn't want me to do this, he'd rather I focus on my own needs and desires instead of supporting the ways in which You are at work at WABC. You want to unite us, he wants to divide us. You want to meet our needs as we feed, lead, and love one another. You've given me ears to hear and lips to lift others up. Help me to watch my tongue. Help me to listen more than I speak and when I speak, help me choose my words carefully instead of getting defensive or demanding. Lord, you led me to WABC, help me to fufill the purpose that you have for me there.
I wrote these words just over two years ago. My desire remains the same. I don't know what His plans are, but I do know how wonderful and gracious He is. All I want is to focus on Him and the humble expectancy of the tasks in front of me.
