Thrive

Found this on Pinterest A W Tozer: A real Christian is an odd number anyway.

Ministry is not your stage,
Not your name, not your image, not your page.
It’s not about rising to be seen,
But letting Christ be fully seen.

You were not called to build your fame,
But to carry Jesus’ holy Name.
Not to impress, not to perform,
But to let His life in you transform.

When pride tries to take the lead,
Remember who you exist to feed.
It’s not your power, not your voice—
It’s the Spirit’s burden, the Spirit’s choice.

Ministry is not self-made light,
It is Christ shining in the night.
Less of you, and more of Him,
Where human glory grows dim.

So rise today with truth so bold,
Let Jesus be what you unfold.
For every life that’s truly free,
Carries Christ, not identity.

Sa isang mundong nagbibigay-karangalan sa pagiging abala, ang Diyos ay nag-aanyaya ng isang bagay na kahanga-hanga — halika at magpahinga. Hindi ito katamaran o pagsuko. Ito ay pagtitiwala na hindi mo kailangang buhatin ang lahat sa iyong sariling lakas. Hindi sinasabi ni Hesus na "ayusin mo ito" o "magsikap nang higit pa" — sinasabi Niya halika sa Akin.
Kayat anuman ang bigat na dinadala mo sa bagong linggong ito, inaanyayahan ka ni Hesus na ilapag ito sa Kanyang paanan.
