I missed a week of Ministry is Relationships, but here is the synopsis I was given:
The missing *ingredient for relational action in ministry
- willingness
- equipped-ness } = ACTION
- awareness
The diagram was a little hard to replicate but hopefully you get the idea that 1,2,3 = Action
Also, the main idea was to put your antennas up and keep them up! Be on the look out for relationships and how to nourish and create relationships.
Colossians 3:23
Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men
Forgive me, if these thoughts are a little scattered, but they seem to be the main idea. Be aware of your surroundings, notice others, incorporate others, don’t let your groups become exclusive, ect.
I am much more comfortable sticking with the group of friends I have and not being the out-going meet everyone kind of person. The tricky part is to keep your antennas up and be authentic and real. I don’t want to meet people just because “I’m supposed to” or that’s what is “expected” of me. I am drawn to authentic, real people rather than those who seem or appear to be putting on an act of caring.
