PEOPLE HAVE ASKED ME….
People, have asked me….
Why I don’t ask for money, since I am a ministry?
Well the problem with that, is it diminishes what I am trying to do. I want you to see God in me, not someone asking for dollars.
I have been in ministry for many years, and to be honest, I used to ask for donations. I mean my time is valuable, like the next person. But it got to be such a headache, and the truth is, I can’t help but write. I have to write, daily, it’s like breathing. I need to do it, because when the Holy spirit speaks to me, about anything, I have to release it. I can’t explain it, but thats my goal….I have to write. It’s my gift and calling….
When people, just see someone asking for money, then they get turned off. So, I don’t ask. I leave that to the discretion of someone, who wants to give. Giving comes from the heart.
I am not a beggar, and I am not knocking any one who would beg. I just, am not, comfortable asking….
And who am I to ask?….You have your own needs, as well. I don’t want to embarrass you, or myself, when you say….”SORRY”…..
I trust God. I ask God. He provides for my needs. I am not rich, but we have food, and a roof over our heads. God is good…..and I thank him.
And I thank God, that he makes a way for me to help, by these messages. I would love a job though, writing. But since those are few and hard to find, again, I leave it to God. I would write these, and I do, even without getting paid. Because it is important. I want people to know our saviors love. I want to help them. Inspire them to seek him. And, especially, because, Christ will return soon.
My address is listed below. And the only reason, I am listing it, is because I don’t want you to ask me. Because people have asked me….I don’t want to know, if you are going to give me something. I don’t want to get my hopes up high either, and expect anything from anybody. Because people will let you down. I know God will not let me down, but sometimes people will. I trust him, according to his word. To meet the needs. And his wisdom, in who ever he would choose to bless.
Thats just the way it is. People don’t always keep their word. So I have learned not to put my hopes in people, but in God. Does that make sense? Anyway, I just want to go about my Fathers business. Without the distraction. Of trying to turn Gods messages into profits. I am only listing this, address, because I do get asked.
If you felt led, to bless me, don’t tell me, just do it. Don’t insult me, because I don’t ask either. So if you are thinking of leaving a comment here on this page, I won’t respond. Whether positive or negative. I don’t want to be bothered by this subject. I have nothing more to say about this, because this is how I feel. Because my goal here now is to communicate. So you understand my heart. And see Gods love, not someone, asking…..So there….I hope that makes it more clearer.
And as I read this, I sound harsh, and I don’t mean to, so forgive me, but I have just come to a place, in this ministry, where I am accepting this calling. No matter what….I have to write. God knows my heart, and I just want to do what is right in his sight. So please forgive me, if I do sound kind of crabby. In the tone of this…
And concerning other ministries, I know some ministries have to ask….so I don’t knock them either. God bless them…and God bless you. END OF SUBJECT.
And please just know, God loves you… That is what I want you to see. I want you to know, his love, that changes someone. I know, he changed me.
