I read this today from Henri Nouwen

Just as all Jesus' words and actions emerge from his communion with his Father, so all our words and actions must emerge from our communion with Jesus.

"In all truth I tell you," he says, "whoever believes in me will perform the same works as I do myself, and will perform even greater works. ... Whatever you ask for in my name I will do" (John 14:12-13).

It is this simple yet profound truth that reveals the relationship between the spiritual life and the life of ministry.

Jesus says, "Whatever you ask for in my name I will do"
