What are the true, first thoughts or impressions you have when you think about God? I don't want your religious, Sunday School response - what is your true response? Truthfully, the only ones to whom this question would probe are those who have a seeking heart that truly wants to know God.

I have never heard of a church that said they have enough volunteers. I have had hundreds of people volunteer is 30 years of ministry, some a lot, some a little. I have seen many be truly blessed and built up in their faith, find their place in the body of Christ and get deeply blessed by being a blessing with others. I have also seen people get wounded, discouraged, frustrated, angry, temperamental, judgmental and territorial as a volunteer. What diseases can infect the heart of a volunteer?

It is important to be settled in how we understand God's Grace. Don't be content in life until you have realized God's portion of grace, and don't be discontented by the fact he might not have gifted you as you would like to be gifted. Greatness has nothing to do with church accomplishments, titles or positions. It has everything to do with faithfulness to the Lord and a constant, persistent endeavor for a deeper walk with him.

"Thank God that in the moment when someone has been crushed seemingly beyond help, when the things that he has cherished most in life have crashed around him, and he is left in the shattered wreck of what once he thought was a home, the Lord Jesus holds out His hand to aid. Thank God, He takes the clay that has been marred, the precious, soiled, broken life, and molds it again, now into a vessel unto honor, sanctified, and meet for the Master's use. And He says, 'From this moment onward the Lord thy God is thy inheritance.'" (Redpath)

In dealing with the issue of marriages and family, often the wounds are deep and the problems are complex. Each individual situation in shrouded in distinct personalities, old wounds, response models, and yes, the human will. Marriage was created by God and designed by God for mankind's greatest benefit. It is the highest relationship; it is a supernatural relationship.
