As believers we have the privilege of ministering to the heart of the Father. First and foremost we are always called to recieve His love and allowing Him to wash our feets. But our relationship with God is never stativ and when we respond to His love, colaboring and stepping into His creativity it delights His heart. He is a relational Father that enjoyed the times of intimacy that He gets with us. It blesses His heart and it is there new assignments is recieved and our life becomes fruitful.

Barnabas flowed very strong in encouragement and comfort. He was actually called the son of encouragement. That is also part of what it means to be sons of our Father. He is the ultimate encourager, and as we grow in sonship we will also flow more and more in encouragement and comfort. That ministry is needed more than ever today!

The Father is always loving on us, and there is such a blessing in being available for Him to have His way in our life. Mary is such an example to us in living available. She said: Let it happen to me as you have said. When we learn to live like that, the love of the Father will bring transformation and Christ will be formed within us.

Talking to people many have described this time of living through a pandemic a wilderness experience in many ways. The bible has a lot to say about the wilderness, and both the Father and satan has a purpose for us in the wilderness. It is a time of learning to live as the beloved. If we respond to the love of the Father in such a season we will be strengthened in our sonship and grow strong in spirit.

We sooner or later learn that we can not overcome our brokenness, sin and temptations in our own strenght, but we are delivered as we keep on recieving from the love of the Father that the Holy Spirit pours into our heart. This is living in the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus.

In an empire every benefit and all the wealth goes to the center to build up the emperor/leader, but in the Kingdom of God the Father lives by self giving love, joyfully blessing us with the Kingdom and all the promises that comes with it. Ministry is expressed that way, by us letting the generosity, joy and love of the Father flow through us so that the Kingdom can be expanded all over the world.

The Kingdom of God belongs to little children and when Jesus describes kingdom greatness He points us to a childlike heart. Therefore we are free to stay small, let go of prestige and false ambitions and enjoy a life of childlike wonder.
