Through the years of my walking with Jesus I have learned more and more about God and it seems some of the most exciting things I have learned about Him I have learned while actively serving. It has been healing and exciting to gain more understanding about complicated life questions that so many of us have juggled. It is even more exciting when I learn something about God through the hands on experience and what I learned is made even clearer as I study His Word in the Bible. It is as if God is confirming to me that, yes, I did understand what He was showing me accurately.

I would love to share some of the things God has shown me, but I recognize the beauty in others gaining this kind of wisdom by also walking it out with God. While there are some things I could try and express with words, my words would never fully example to another’s heart what the actual face to face or hands on experience with God would example. And there are some things it seems impossible to teach someone else without taking them and showing them. Is seeing believing?! When all of our senses are activated (sight, smell, tasting, feeling and hearing) and we ourselves are forced to surrender then it’s in that time we can recognize God more clearly!

My heart with Asha’s Refuge is to open up more and more opportunities for others to serve and be served enabling many and ALL nations to grow closer to God. I, too, participate in the constant learning and growing. I love to take others by the hand and walk beside them encouraging them to step out of themselves and see more of what God may want them to see.

Today I posted this on Facebook and wanted to share these thoughts on our website as well:

I am for sure that God knew we could only learn many things about Him through hands on experience therefore He beckons us to get out and serve others especially the least of these.

“Knowing Him is to Walk With Him!”

Don’t short change yourself the tangible knowledge brought way down to your heart that God so loves YOU by not serving others. Your completely missing a huge part of Jesus by not taking the time to serve others.

In all things I have shown you that by working hard in this way we must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’” -Acts 20:35

We are always eager to help you find a place to serve. Please pray and consider serving and growing along side of us at Asha’s Refuge. You were made to serve!
