A letter from my brother, 9/18/12
To the treasurer of Team Fire Glory Freedom!
Dear Susan,
Thank you so much for being our team treasurer and managing our finances with excellence. I feel that what our Lord says is true of you: One who is faithful in a very little is faithful in much. –Luke 16:10
Perhaps God is leading you into a season where He will entrust you with more: more freedom, more understanding, and more authority. Because you have shown yourself competent in managing small things, God will give you opportunity to oversee weightier matters. – 1 Corinthians 6:2-3
Remember that in the Kingdom, character is worth so much more than giftedness. In a culture where spiritual gifts are emphasized, people forget that those who shine the brightest are not the most gifted, but those who display the character of Christ. You are rich in character; keep shining forth love and patience, peace, and joy. -1 Corinthians 13:ALL
Finally, your treasure is in heaven, your heart is pure and your eyes are healthy. You trust in God and you serve Him. You are not anxious or fearful, but you are self-controlled and confident. You are like the birds of the air and the lilies of the field. You walk with God, and you know that it is He who cares for you. Continue to grow in trust as you walk with Him, and you will be greatly enriched. – Matthew 6:19-34
I have very much enjoyed being on this team with you. I hope we can continue on this Race together, but if not, I am looking forward to keeping in touch and hearing about what God does with you on other teams.
Always your brother,
Thomas
