Malawi Pastor Tom Mambo, who is visiting in the states for another few days and had been staying with our family before his trip to Hawaii, was back and at my home today. He is currently staying elsewhere since I've been sick with the flu and bronchitis. However, he came over to get some of his things and he asked if he could pray for me. "Of course," I said. He prayed that God would heal me so that I would be able to "do the many things HE has for me to do."
I was so humbled by this prayer, because being sick and/or discouraged makes you want to just give up and his prayer put my mind back on service to Christ and His Kingdom, rather than service to poor me.
I think that must be what Jesus meant when HE said...Occupy until I come....
