For those of us serving in ministry and other professions were there is constant engagement with people, this excerpt by Oswald Chambers provides tremendous insight into the importance of interactions with people and our relationships.
“If you are going to be used by God, He will take you through a number of experiences that are not meant for you personally at all. They are designed to make you useful in His hands, and to enable you to understand what takes place in the lives of others. Because of this process, you will never be surprised by what comes your way."
Every conversation, no matter how short, has a purpose for me and for the other person, but only God knows that purpose. Understanding this allows me to have mental and spiritual rest following a hard day of chaplaincy work. I walk knowing that God is making me useful in His hands.
