Encouragment for the Ministry Wife - Did I Take Time for Jesus?

Did I Take Time for Jesus?

In ministry the busyness of the season can leave us with this question, “Did I take time for Jesus?”

I want to encourage you – you did!

Taking time for Jesus comes in many ways, through the quiet but also through the busyness of life.

In ministry you took time for Jesus in the Christmas programs you wrote, led, helped with or sang in.

You took time for Jesus in the smile you gave as you greeted those in your church and community.

You took time for Jesus with the kind words spoken to an elderly person or when you scooped up a child that was running past and gave a hug.

You took time for Jesus in the gifts you shopped for, wrapped and gave to others.

You took time for Jesus in the cookies you baked (or bought) and the decorations you hung.

You took time for Jesus with the co-workers you encouraged and to those friends you invited to church.

You took time for Jesus with the words of affirmation you spoke to your husband, and in the moments of laughter with your children.

As you acknowledge Him in ALL things…you take time for Jesus and He will lead you. (Prov. 3:6)

I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me! (Matt. 25:40)

So take off the guilt, embrace the day, for this is the day that the Lord has made and you have 3 days left…till Christmas!
