The Increase of Decreasing

Today comes early. Today we are waking up at 5 am to be ready to head down to the Union Gospel Mission to serve breakfast to the men and women there. Today we will be reminded of both the blessings we have and the brutality of living with out. This morning we will see some amazing things and here some amazing stories. I pray that we will able be able to process this through the filter of Love. That we will all be able to see what God's wants us to see.

1 Corinthians 10:31 says that whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. I pray that today we will not see what we do as just a task or an action to help those who are in need, but to do it for the glory of God.

After breakfast we will spend some time processing and listening before we go back to the church building to do a bit more work on the property. I pray that we will also see this not as a task but as a way for us to continue to decrease so that God and his glory will increase (John 3:30).

Thank you in advance for praying for us today.
