Deut 10:17a. "For the Lord your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality and accepts no bribes."
Shawn Boadway shared a quote that reflects what service with Emmanuel International does for the person serving.
Shawn says, “The verse I would include is from Jonathan Sacks, who wrote in his book, To Heal a Fractured World, “Happiness is the ability to say: I lived for certain values and acted on them. I was part of a family, embracing it, and being embraced by it. I was part of a community, honouring its traditions, sharing its griefs and joys, ready to help others, knowing that they were ready to help me. I did not only ask what I could take; I asked what I could contribute. To know that you made a difference, that in this all-too-brief span of years, you lifted someone's spirits, relieved someone's poverty or loneliness, or brought a moment of grace or justice to the world that would not have happened had it not been for you: these are as close as we get to the meaningfulness of a life, and they are matters of every day rather than heroic virtue."
In God’s kingdom, isn’t this what we want, to make a difference in someone’s life, for God’s glory!
