Thank you pinklight,

These words made me cry! God has already promised us in our ministry that we will stand and see the amazing things that he is going to do on our behalf. It is the government of Canada who has forced us into the USA but we believe that it is not without God’s knowledge and fore-ordination because he directs our pathway even if he has to use unbelievers to give us a push. The long hours of work have indeed been non-stop and the work on WIM was often 15 hours a day and took me two solid years. Indeed we are nothing but low trees and nothing of worth in the eyes of many, except that we are open to be used for God’s grace and his glory. The amazing thing is that God can and does bypass the ones who are already exalted and he picks the ones who are seen as nothing so that when God’s work is accomplished it is God alone who will get the ultimate glory not any human. Paul saw this as a “God thing” and he saw that God isn’t looking for greatness but weakness.

2Co 12:9 And He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.” Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me.

Thank you again for sharing this with us! It really touched my heart and encouraged me.
