A Servant's HeartWritten by Alyice Edrich
Continued from page 1
Pay attention when God calls you to serve others. Listen with your heart, not your mind. Hear what God wants you to do—not what you think should be done. You might think a check to pay a bill will solve someone’s problem, but that might not be what God wants you to do. God may want you to teach that person how to budget his income so that he’s not in same boat next month. You might think a prayer is all that is needed, but God might want you spend quality time with that person. You might think a having a garage sale to remove clutter from someone’s life will help her get more focused, but God might want you to help that person reorganize her life by ministering to her soul while you weed through her material possessions. Taking time to listen to what God wants you to do, humbling yourself to do what He has called you to do, and then faithfully following His orders regardless of how uncomfortable it makes you is truly what a servant’s heart is all about. It’s selfless love at its best and God couldn’t ask for a better gift or testimony of your relationship with Him.

a machine gun medallion attached to it. Mind you, he was only nine years old at time. I thought to myself, why are these people honoring death and then selling it to our children? At that instance, my eyes were opened. I began to look for a medallion that I thought was fit for my son to wear around his neck. I began to research symbols and signs. Do you know what I found? Every symbol and sign usedto market products,from shoes to toilet paper, is derived from pagan origins, even down to guess what? The CROSS! Imagine my shock, disappointment and confusion. Oh yeah, I resisted it as first too. I thought, this can't be true! Here I was looking for something for my son to wear on his necklace, and now I've opened up a whole different can of worms. I asked Father(Father, what would you have me do with this information?)And by way He kept on whooping my butt, it didn't take too long before I knew. I said to him, "Father, but who will believe me?" And He said to me in His word. "Now word of Father came unto Jonah, son of Amittai, saying, Arise go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it;for their wickedness is come up before me." Jonah1:1-2 Now, I was in a real bind because I din't want to be one to buck so called system. So, I did what Jonah did, I ran, even after knowing what Father did to Jonah. But as you can probably tell, it did not take long for me to stop running. You know belly of beast has that affect on a person. Believe you me, my whole outlook has changed. Now I'm glad to go to Ninevah. Alot of you are just like me. You know truth, but you're just running and hiding. In closing, I would like to say, STOP RUNNING! Let's go to Ninevah! Who cares if some don't listen, as long as true ones do, and Father's will be done. Carla Robinson --Email~car9robins@aol.com
