Magnificent & Significant

Amazing insight From Lysa TerKeurst - NY Times Bestselling author, a national speaker, and the president of Proverbs 31 Ministries. Website: www.lysaterkeurst.com

When Jesus puts His hand in the small of your back and whispers, "Come, follow me," no matter what... go.
But don't go in effort and angst.
Simply go with willingness to embrace whatever He places in your hands. Big or small it will be magnificent and so very significant to Him.
He might take you on unlikely paths through quiet seasons where you wonder if you heard Him wrong.
How can you be participating in world changing ministry when after preparing your Bible study lesson for weeks, only 3 women showed up? 
Those 3 are magnificent and so very significant to Him.
How can staying up all night with a crying toddler be part of a grand plan?
That little one is magnificent and significant to Him.
How come that other woman seems to be fast tracked in ministry and your calling feels so slow? So small. So unnoticed.
She is and you are magnificent and significant to Him.
The moment this reality finally washes over you, you'll fall to your knees thanking Him with every fiber of your soul.
You see it's not about the assignment at all. It's about staying in alignment with His heart.
Protect that alignment with the fiercest passion and every bit of fight you have in you.
Being with Jesus is the high calling. Everything else is just homework.
Because a woman pressed close to Jesus? No matter where she is serving, it changes the world.
