You see, we are not meant to live in this life in order to see that face; we are meant to die to the world in order to live forever in God. Then we won t sin, not only by deed but not even by desire, when we see that face which beats and surpasses all desires. Because it is so lovely, my brothers and sisters, so beautiful, that once you have seen it, nothing else can give you pleasure. It will give insatiable satisfaction of which we will never tire.

Training Update: Continue to lift up our Stephen Ministers and Stephen Leaders in prayer. Here s what they re covering this week. Session Six Process versus Results in Caregiving If ever there were a time for Stephen Minister trainees to say Aha! this module would be it. They learn the key understanding that they don t have to (and indeed can t) fix whatever problem it is that their care receiver faces. This session is a time for a collective sigh of relief. God is the curegiver; the Stephen Minister is the caregiver. This establishment of roles is what makes Stephen Ministry possible. The concept runs counter to the strong results-oriented approaches of present-day society. But in caregiving, the more one pushes for results in another, the faster and farther they flee.
