An essential reminder for me on any of these mission trips is that we are all God's children, created by Him out of His abundant, unfailing love. We come to Him not out of our supposed power, position or prestige, but out of humility and poverty. He is totally indifferent to my status as a retired judge, although I honor by using the gifts He has blessed me with.
I have always enjoyed the AW Tozer statement that "an infinite God can give all of Himself to each of His children as fully as if there were no others." Indeed we each of His beloved. "We belong to God who claims us as beloved children and holds us close in the embrace of strength and love." (Rueben Job)
