...what can I give?

As I have been reading materials in preparation for our upcoming training, I have asked myself in different ways: what do I have that I can offer others? When thinking specifically about people in Mexico where we want to go serve, I put myself in their position as best as I mentally can and try to ponder how they might perceive me entering their lives. Will they be better off because of having spent some time conversing with me? Will there be more joy in their life because of having worked on a project together? Will they experience greater freedom from things that hold them back in life? How exactly can I be an agent for meaningful change in the life of those I'm called to minister God's love to? It has been humbling to realize that the answer to the question of what I have to offer is: nothing. My hope - our hope as a family - is to somehow be a mirror that reflects God's love and caring intervention in each person's life.
