We do not take "center stage" nor do we stand before thousands who wait to hear our voice. We do not set records that are nationally known... We live, to all appearances, ordinary lives. We go about the day the Lord has given to each one of us. We pray that God will use us to touch the heart of someone else who is leading an ordinary life. The work is done in the trenches and that is where most of us are. Interacting, face-to-face with the man next door, the worker at the next desk, the associate over the phone, the relative who is lost, the hurting, the lonely, the woman at the store, the kids in Sunday School, etc. The Kingdom of God is being built one brick at a time by the minimum wage masons in this world. Praise God, He uses people just like you and me. We do not have to have the pulpit on a Sunday morning or the radio show. We only have to be open to the work of the Spirit through us. The fields are ready for harvest, the workers are few. We all have a field of ministry. Right now, it may be our children or grandchildren. What better reward could there be than to lead one of these little ones to the Lord. Open your eyes to the ministry all around you and just maybe someone will write a book about you, the person no one ever heard of before.
