Willing Hearts & Hands

A quality of my husband I am so grateful for and humbled by is that he has such a willing heart and spirit. He desires to serve, bless, and provide generously as much as possible. I respect this deeply about him and strive to emulate this quality as we both look towards following Christ's example of these same things. It seems that God has chosen this time in our lives to fuel our desires into action. What is phenomenal is that no sooner do we say we are eager and happy to do something or start to apply, research, or look into the opportunity we presume we will get, then God hands us another opportunity that is similar but much closer to home. Thank You, Jesus. You are sovereign and we do our best to follow what You desire for us because Your plan is clearly and intricately worked out by Your hand because of Your deep love for us.

"Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me." ~Psalms 51:12

"Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share." ~1Timothy 6:18
  
"Be shepherds of God’s flock that is under your care, watching over them—not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not pursuing dishonest gain, but eager to serve; not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock." ~1Peter 5:2-3
