Thank you! Growing gradually does matter and faithfulness in small things adds up. Mindful routines can be sustaining. Daniel had consistent character and is called 'highly esteemed' in Daniel 10:19.

Thank you for the truth and encouragement. I participated in a meeting at a residential Christian recovery center for men this evening. We discussed “showing up” and consistency with respect to leadership. I shared your article with the leader of this group. May your words continue to bear fruit. And I hope they spur me to get back to consistent writing.

Hi Pastor Chris,

I am very grateful for you and all your wisdom, your caring heart and the love for the Lord that shines through you. I admire how you share your real experiences in life and how all your thoughts and actions always points back to Jesus. Your faith strengthens me and many around you as you are obedient to all the things you do for the Lord, as a pastor in leading people to Jesus through your sermons, with your talents praising the Lord through your singing and playing the guitar or keyboard on the worship team, supporting the youth group with your leadership and guidance.

There is a verse in Isaiah that reminds me of all you are doing for the Lord through your writings and obedience in service to our Savior Jesus Christ. You are noticed for your dedication, hard work and all that you do. Every word written by you has purpose as the Holy Spirit leads you and His provisions are carried out through you by your words. Your obedience to God and reaching many for His Glory is seen and heard through your words and action’s.

so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.

Isaiah 55:11

May the Lord bless you and your family abundantly with joy, peace and know that you are precious and Loved!

Keep shining for Jesus,

Niome
