Servants of God

Last night I had the privilege to sit with Pastors and their companions from across the states of Arkansas and Oklahoma. I also was given the privilege to share some comments with these men and women of God. As I was preparing for the meeting I was reminded of the opportunity of sitting with true servants of God. Pastors, Ministers, and other leaders of churches do many things which are done in the privacy of serving others. Pastors are called on in situations that do not grab the headlines of the local newspapers, or make the stories of the local newscasts but they are recognized and remembered in Heaven. God does not forget the service we offer to Him as we serve others. I am thankful to be able to cross paths with true servants of God as I travel around this country sharing the good news of the Gospel. Many of you are faithful servants of God who daily offer their lives to God as a living sacrifice. You willingly serve others without much fanfare or recognition. No news organizations shows up to interview you and present you with any rewards or certificates yet you remain committed to the cause of Jesus Christ and His Kingdom. To each of you I say THANK YOU and I want you to know that your service has not gone unnoticed by our Heavenly Father. Jesus gave us the example of service and now you are committed to follow in His footsteps. Churches would never be able to operate the ministries of local churches if it were not for the dedicated servants who serve tirelessly week after week to make sure the ministries complete their acts of service to the local body as well as to the community in which they live. Allow God to encourage you today and understand that there are people who truly appreciate your service and I am speaking for them today; we are glad that you are willing to give of yourself to a cause that is greater than all of us. Be blessed as you continue to serve today and the rest of the days of your life.
