(Below is an excerpt from Pastor’s book, “How to Triumph in Troubled Times”)
I have run up against a lot of things in third world nations as I have been involved in world missions. There has been more than one time when in my heart I said, “How much more can we take, God?” Anyone that works in foreign missions could give their own share of stories of trials. I could tell you of a number of ministries which have given food, clothing, education, and shelter and no one gave thanks or appreciation in return.
There must have been so many people that Jesus ministered to and they did not show appreciation for it. Did anyone comprehend that they were standing in the presence of the Son of the Living God? Probably not, but He just kept on loving and giving. Love may take a little while to work, but it works. I can choose to walk in love no matter what has happened to me. No matter what someone said, I can choose to walk in love. Determine today that you will always respond in love.
