Bringing out the spirited version of me.

I was looking back on my notes from my last mission trip to Peru. I had made a comment about how two of my brothers in Christ brought out the spirited version of me.

I really enjoyed working along-side Mark and Allan in Peru. I’ll admit, I’ve come out of my shell a bit since I’ve been going on mission trips. It’s because I realize that it’s not about me. And, if you’re as blessed as I have been to work with people of the same faith, the same goals, the same servant-heart, well, you’re truly blessed.

People like Mark and Allan brought out the spirited version of me. They made it fun to serve. But we also experienced God’s love right in front of us.

I hope the people of Peru that crossed our path that week could see Jesus in each of us.

Let’s be loving examples of Christ and bring out the best in each other.

Matthew 5:13 - “You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people's feet.”
