Loving and Liking Your Position

 Dear Abba,


     Some employees are in customer-facing roles in their jobs and they do not like working with the general public. I have had my issues with the public across several industries including ministry. Employees have valid reasons for disliking their jobs. They also have unreasonable expectations from working with the general public. 


     For example, customers will make requests according to their preferences for the products and services offered by the company. The workers facilitating the order may feel like the customer is taking something from them as they fulfill an order. They may feel more is required of them than what is received from their role.  An employee may feel a lack of appreciation depending on the interaction between the customers. The transaction can be taken personally by the employee. The truth is, the worker is doing a job they are paid to do. They are accomplishing their work with no overhead. The customer is paying for their preferred or specialty product or service from the brand. Customer service and customer representative work is not for everyone!


     I want to compare the roles of leadership and those who lead to the experience of individuals in a customer-facing role. Those of us in leadership and those who lead sometimes feel we are giving what is needed through service for Yah's people, and we are not served in the same or a similar way. We sometimes take it personally how we supply when we feel we need to receive. Leaders and those who lead want to be heard, seen, and succored. Leaders should receive encouragement in their hearts and soul.


     Reciprocity is Yah's way of replenishing what He uses through us to disperse among His body. In Ephesians 4:26 it reads, "He makes the whole body fit together perfectly. As each part does its special work, it helps the other parts grow, so the entire body is healthy and full of love.

Do not think and believe your life will not become richer for your willingness to live poured out. The Most High Yahuah is rewarding your sacrifice and planning a bountiful harvest from what you freely give away in obedience. This happens every time with every assignment! You may be accruing favor and the goodness of the Lord for divine reimbursement at a later time or season.

Nevertheless, your willingness and obedience pay off! You are not forgotten, ignored, or denied! Expect to be restored! Expect to be refilled after every pour. Take your refilling!



 Here are some keys to avoid burnout and feeling left out:


1. After ministering, be sure to forbid demonic retaliation

2. Worship and offer gratitude for the opportunity.

3. Ask Ruach to show you what part of ministering you can take for yourself. (I received that prophecy for myself. I take that breakthrough)

4. Ask Ruach to refresh your heart and soul as you meditate on scripture. 

5. Explore a new hobby. Add stress-relieving activities such as coloring, deep breathing, stretching, journal writing, and listening to soft music. 

6. Drive to a different city to shop for groceries. 

7. Add more live foods and natural supplements to your nutrition. 

8. Examine your friend circle. Who can provide wisdom for a better perspective? Meet with them to discuss his/her input over dessert. 

9. Come out of forced isolation by joining a book club, singles support group, married couples group, or widow/widower support group. 

10. Practice joy and gratitude, daily by smiling at yourself and others.

11. Live with an expectation of favor and blessing. 



Shalom, Shalom

Freedom

  DEAR ABBA,                 Thank you, Father! Through hard times and hairy experiences, I am thankful. Here is a lesson I would learn about emotions. There is nothing wrong with feelings and processing emotions. They deserve whatever limited or vast amount of attention necessary to maintain honesty, self-control, and compassion for us and others. Relationships thrive when we allow healthy communication of emotions.                 For instance, someone shared a hurtful childhood experience with me.   I responded with logic. What I missed was apologizing for their experience. An apology is a healing balm whether we are the cause of a situation or not. Let’s not rush to explain the why or reason. Instead, make room for the pain of others. Hold their hand through the healing journey. #empathy #compassion (Matthew 9:36-37, bibl...

Shaking and Shaping

  DEAR ABBA,       I am holding space for parents who had to bury their children, parents caring for ill or special needs children, and parents whose children (juvenile & adult) are incarcerated. There is no sadness, grief, or despair impossible for the power of Adonai to heal. We don't have the right words to console the hurting hearts of parents. However, we know that prayer and intercession can go where we cannot. Kind Father, let your love shower these parents and their living children. We know your righteousness and justice will prevail in each situation. We release rivers of healing, deliverance, and salvation. In Yahshuah's name, Amen.     Some things can happen to alter the trajectory of our lives. The Ruach Ha'kodesh said to me,   "Shaking and Shaping."   We hear the Prophets of The Most High Yah speak about exposure, and changing of the guards, the remnants arising, and the unseating of leaders either by de...

Everything is working together

DEAR ABBA,         The month of April would enter with winter temperatures looming. The residue of a previous season cannot deter blooming and birth from a new season. I would not abandon my idea of Spring. The reality of Spring would fill my soul. Spring is one of favorite seasons. Sometimes we may decide to cower away from things we cannot control. I encourage you to position your mind in a firm stance. Do not let go of your faith in God. Dear Abba, help me to grip my faith tightly. April winds would challenge my resilience, but a word from the Lord would anchor my soul. Abba would remind me to create the world I would want to see using my words.           Genesis chapters one and two explain the formless matter awaiting creation. It would be from chaos God would create the heavens, earth, light, bodies of water, animals, humans and more. The Holy Bible tells us, God… said, saw, called, made, placed, created, blesse...
