The Ministry Of Showing Up

"Finding Peace. Reclaiming Joy. Hearing His Voice. A soul-centered newsletter"

"Where He leads Joy Follows" -Joy Butts

Some days, faith doesn’t look like singing loud or praying long. It looks like getting out of bed, making breakfast, answering one more call, or taking one more step.

When your strength is gone and your heart feels heavy, showing up still matters. It’s not small, it’s sacred. God sees the quiet persistence of a weary soul who chooses faithfulness over giving up. You may not feel strong, but Heaven calls it courage. The ministry of showing up reminds us that endurance itself is worship. Each time you rise again; tired, hurting, or uncertain, you declare that despair does not win.

With Love and the utmost respect,

Joy Butts

🪞 A Moment of Reflection

🌿 Think of a time when simply being present was the hardest thing you had to do. What sustained you? How did you sense God’s presence, even in exhaustion and feelings of emptiness? Perhaps these are the moments when He is nearest to you.

Prayer

God, thank You for meeting me in my weakness. When I have nothing left to give, remind me that You are still working in the quiet persistence of my heart. Give me grace to keep showing up one breath, one step, one day at a time.

Amen.
