'Motivation' By Christine Harrison

Sunday 31 March 2013


I was recently able to attend the Aspire ladies event at the Elim church in Cardiff with some other ladies from our church. The lady speaking was Lara Martin, she had a wonderful testimony and an equally wonderful singing voice.

Lara’s theme for the day was: What does it mean to minister to the Lord? She mentioned Joanna, Suzanna and Mary… They were all healed by Jesus and wanted to give to Him in return (Luke 8:1-3). They had all had an encounter with God that changed them, but also a relationship with God that continually sustained them.

What motivates the most..?

An encounter with God,
or a relationship with Him?

Some of us go to meetings like this and try to live on a high, but we need to spend time with God to develop a relationship with Him.

When Colin and I first started seeing each other, we would arrange to meet and look forward to that time to really get to know each other. So it should be with us making time for Jesus – even if you do have to write it in your diary!!!

These women followed Jesus, even to His death, and afterwards they went to His tomb and to the garden because they still wanted to be able to serve Him. In the same way, we all need to choose to develop and relationship with Jesus – to talk to Him, anywhere and any time – not just when we are in church.
