What is ministry? What is to minister? It means several things - including: to give help and to attend to needs, to administer, being a cause, an instrument. Ministry is the act of serving. It is ministration. A minister is a servant, a preacher, an attendant and they all serve and carry out the spiritual functions of a church or religious gathering. I believe I have a ministerial calling and that I am to do that through my art. My art is drawing, painting, photography, theatre, teaching, and scrapbooking.
It is working with people from young to old to inspire them to listen to their heart, to 'see' how they 'feel', to express their visual, physical, and verbal creativity. I minister by being there, by listening carefully, watching intently, guiding tenderly, sharing enthusiastically, and devoting my time, abilities, experience, and my heart to those to whom I minister. I see opportunities to share Jesus. I share myself. Jesus presides within. Jesus is my heart. The Holy Spirit instructs and guides me - like butterfly kisses, softly, quietly, but you know He is there, watching over you, touching you, keeping you safe, and you can hear His whispers in your mind. Go with confidence He says. God is in control of all things. Trust in the Lord with all your heart.
