1 Peter 4:10 & 11
Each one should use the whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in it's various forms. If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking in the very words of God. If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. AMEN.
This seems pretty direct...black & white...serve others=glorify God.
How come it seems so hard sometimes to do? Especially when most of my time is spend now at home changing diapers??!!? Maybe it's an attitude and maybe it's a state of heart that just makes it easier to embrace those opportunities as a lifestyle. Doesn't it totally encourage you that it says,"whatever gift" making it seem that even the daily diaper change could be done in a way that would be glorifying. I gotta get moving towards a new state...

preach, kiddo. i command you to joy.
"Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer." Romans 12:12
If you ask me, HOPE being key word there. We can always have joy from hope, even if we don't have joy from our current state of being. And without that... oh man, can't imagine!
love u!
