GENTLE AND HUMBLE HEART
Do you
realize that I am here speaking no longer about prayer alone but about ministry
as well? The discipline to lead all our people with their struggles into the
gentle and humble heart of our God is the discipline of prayer as well as the
discipline of ministry.
As long as ministry only means that we worry a
lot about people and their problems. And as long as ministry means an endless
amount of activities which we can hardly coordinate, we are still very much
dependent on our own narrow and anxious heart.
