Many times when I teach or serve or talk, I picture in my mind an 'average person.' I've never met an average person. Everyone I've ever talked to has had their own story, their own history, & their unique place in God's working.
Ministry to People means Ministry to Specific People. Our effectiveness increases as we know about the object of our service and tailor our interactions. Children grow and change and the way we interact with a 5 year old (in general) will be different from the way we interact with a 10 year old.
Lord, help me to choose to love individuals as specifically as I'm able and make up what I lack in content or connection or clarity. May You have the glory!
