Reblog: Accepting Ministry as Ministry

Today I’m attending a class on honor and encouragement, and it reminded me of this post from early in my ministry. Enjoy!

    Beautiful, Ryanne. I remember this post and I can totally identify with you. As I age, however, I more and more realize what my parents went through as they allowed me to minister to them when they were the ones used to doing the ministering. This is true in all of the Christian life, as we realize we need to let others be blessed as they minister to/serve us in the same way as we are blessed by serving them. Love you! You have much wisdom for a young woman!
