F--Focus. Your focus is on the mission before you.
A--Available. Making yourself available, and using what
is available.
I--Intelligent/Inventive. As we focus on the mission
before us, and pray,
meditiate, and use our head, we will
become inventive to accomplish that
mission.
T--Thorough. Disciplined. Organized. A good steward of
time and energy. Not
wasteful.
H--Helpful. Everybody is in a ministry of helps, and
some have a particular grace
in that area. One of the greatest
testimonies you hear related in the world, is
that of helpfulness.
F--Fire. Keep the flame of your passion toward the Lord
stirred up into a flame.
Not bogged down in the mechanics.
U--Understand that not everybody will be marching to
the same drum beat, with
the same level of understanding and
commitment. That's OK. We are all at
different stages in our life and in
our walk with the Lord. He is very patient
with us. We need to be patient with
ourselves and with one another.
L--Love. Always meet people where they are, looking after
their best interests,
and seeking to build them up.
Look over sin in order to lift others
up.
Learn to enjoy God's presence even
in trying situations.
Laugh a lot, looking for the good
things to be thankful for.
Go to the people, live among them, learn from them, love
them, start
with what they know, and build on what they have! You
cannot fail
when you build people.
Faithful is being disciplined and organized
in order to best serve God and the people.
