TIME
TIME
by: Pastor Ryan Scheibel
2 Samuel 18:13, “Therefore Saul removed him from his presence, and made him his captain over a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people.”
All Israel and Judah loved David because he lived his life among the people. It says he went out and came in before them. He made himself available to the people and I am finding out this is the secret to marriage and parenting, spending quality time with them. I believe this is the secret to being a great leader and a good pastor is to live among the people. David was loved because he went in and out among the people.
I always share this when I officiate weddings: one pastor asked me a question saying,
“How do you spell love? You spell it as TIME.” We spend our time on the things we love. Jesus loved people and loved to be around them and loved the kids. He said to let the little children to come to me. The Bible says the common people heard him gladly and that he was a blessing to be around.
If you want to be loved you need to mingle, you need to go in and out among the people. People don’t care how much we know until they know how much we care. To make an impact in ministry, you need to be consistent and keep showing up and being present in lives. Your presence is so powerful.
