Ministry Therapy
“Sometimes all you need is ministry therapy.” This was a social media post by one of our amazing volunteers, Erica Vaughn. She wrote this about an hour or so after we had sweated together in 80 degree heat to do a community outreach.
What is ministry therapy? I believe it could be defined as serving unselfishly, with your whole heart. Throwing yourself completely into an act of service. The focus point shifts from me, to the other person. For awhile, we forget about the troubles in our own lives.
Jesus set the example. He is the Son of God, and He came to serve.
“Even as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” Matthew 20:28
Last night when I got home, my shirt was soaked, my cap looked like water had been poured over it, and I could barely walk. But, I felt peace and contentment. Maybe it was because I had done some “ministry therapy.”
