When we serve in too many different ministries at a time, nobody's lovin' it more but Satan, because we have less time to zero in on the one important thing God may be calling us to do. If certain ministries are interfering with us where our true passions are, we're being lead by Satan's "Plan B." 

We can all recover from past mistakes. In Jane Fonda’s 2011 TED Talk, "Life’s Third Act," she stressed the need to review and study your first two acts of your life; to circle back to your young life and relive it on your terms today; to free yourself from your past and become the person you wished you would have been back then.

Though we’re not likely to ever see the face of our God in this life, his image can be found in our neighbor, the God we CAN see. We may have to dig a little sometimes to turn up that “God part” of a friend, neighbor or co-worker, but with a little loving effort it’s all doable and our discovery of it can be  a joyous experience.
