Loving people, willing heart

Can you see what these little fingers are spelling?

Today Jodi and I had lunch with a lady here in town who is wanting to do Mannatech full-time as a business. She is a divorced single mom with one girl 12 years old. She has gone through a lot of hard times in the past few years, really through a lot of her life. It was a good visit. She is a really sweet lady. In the process of getting to know her I saw a wonderful sensitive heart. Along with telling others of Mannatech (as the products have helped her so much) she is wanting to help other people through difficult life situations, like she has gone through. I love that! It is so awesome to me to see people who have gone through pains, trials, struggles, and more come through them with a heart of thinking of others and wanting to help other people through the same or similar situations. So selfless, so giving and so God honoring! I thank God almighty for these type of people. I have met other people who have had a "rough life" only to be bitter resentful, depressed or mean. What does this do? It saddens me so much to see this happen. It made me look at my own life, what am I doing for others? Do I really have a heart to see the lives of other people blessed more then the life of myself? True my life has been very awesome, for the most part....but I still have had some pains and hurts. Am I willing to use my past pains and trials to help others, give them courage and to keep pressing on? There are so many hurting people out there, is my hand willing, is my heart longing, are my eyes seeking to find those who need love and compassion? In any and all trials I go through I must use it to deeper help, understand and love others...and yes get my mind off myself and onto Kingdom Work!! Praise God He can forgive, lead and guide us unworthy people for HIS GLORY!!!
