Life as a Course of Ministry: Abdullah and Neville Were Able to Give Because of Jethro

Neville saw life as a course of ministry, of giving. Be out-flowing, patient, accepting, generous. Such an imagination of positiveness toward others creates blessings--Jethro--for the one imagining. Is this not like Jacob ("James"), whom the author of Mark may have used as a type for the nature of Jesus? I think Mark was saying, "Follow James' example as he followed Christ in him."

Imagine well for others. In your revision of imagination, imagine their healing, their blessing, their prosperity, their health, their careers and businesses flourishing. Be a blessing machine. 'Jethro' means "his jutting-over" or "his excellence." We do not get without giving, so always be giving in thought and in deed.

"Why not be noble?" asked Neville. "Why not be a lady?" He and Abdullah lived well because they were beneficial to others. Take a high road and believe you have what you need. Aim for a LOT of mutual benefit. The more you try to give, the more resource you will find, and it can be very profitable.
