This year marks our tenth anniversary serving the people of India. The memories
of the people, and the things that God used to shape us while there, are as
fresh as the day we first arrived in Andhra Pradesh. There are times when
something will trigger a memory that will bring sadness or joy to my heart. God
has accomplished so much during these years.

There is a young lady named Mani who captured our hearts and
we have grown to love. She had a disability from polio where her left hand had
been rendered useless. She may never receive a marriage proposal, yet it never defeated her. We have watched her grow into a beautiful young lady, and she has never slowed down or
allowed her disability to stop her from accomplishing the things she wanted to do.
We
have watched young pastors grow and mature in their faith and ministry, as they
continue to carry the good news of Jesus Christ to their people, regardless of
the obstacles.
I’m sure each of you have your own experiences and people
that God has given you. They are like precious pearls of great worth, for they
have great value to you. God used them to make you who you are today. And as
you continue on in the journey of this life God has called you to join Him in,
He will give you many more.
Today, I want you to reflect on the goodness of the Lord.
Find a quiet place and just reflect on the people and the experiences that He
has given you to bring to this place. Give Him praise and let the tears of joy
flow. Shout thanksgivings to Him, and may today
be a day gratitude and praise to the Lord.
