When was the last time you performed an act of service without strings attached? Friendship is about serving each other. A friend commits to invest in another person's life exhibiting the core value Jesus taught. He said, "Love one another". Take a relational risk today! Invest your time, talents and things to make someone better than they already are. Pay attention to their needs, strengthen their weaknesses and trust that God will guide you to be the best friend a person could ever have. A wise person once said to me that "the ministry may seem to be about events and programs but the truth remains that the ministry is about people. Without the people there is no need for ministry."In Kids Inc we follow a simple motto:
GET CONNECTED WITH OTHER KIDS
GET CLOSER TO GOD THROUGH WORSHIP
GET READY TO LEARN THE WORD OF GOD
GET BUSY USING GIFTS AND TALENTS FOR GOD
GET OUT THERE AND TELL EVERYONE ABOUT GOD
One of the coolest experiences to have is to see how quickly a visiting child is accepted into our ministry. The connection only takes a few seconds and the friendships last a whole lot longer. There is much to be learned from a child. They teach us more than we as "mature" Christians are willing to learn. Take a risk today! pour your life, love and selflessness into a friend today and tell me how you feel afterwards.
