Actions speak louder than words sometimes, don't they? We attended church while we were in Guatemala. Like I mentioned in a previous post, English was not the primary common language. This worship experience, however, was AMAZING! We were greeted with hugs, smiles, and hand shakes when we walked in. Before we knew it, the service started and those there were full of joy. It was so obvious!
I had a mentor tell me once that no matter your age or stage of life, there is always someone looking up to you and watching you when you least expect it. It's so true. The Holy Spirit was filling this church! We were all smiling, humming (singing when we knew the words), clapping, many were crying tears of joy while worshipping Our Lord. These Guatemalans knew they were blessed to come and worship as a community. My heart was overflowing...and was watching them so I saw the love they had for (and from) our Lord! They were into the lesson and scripture being taught. They weren't worried about what time it was...they were ecstatic to just be there! Melted my heart like crazy.
What are your actions, facial expressions, or for that matter, everything you do showing others? My prayer for all of us is that we are producing the fruits of the Spirit…love, joy, peace,… (Galatians 5: 22)
