Wow! It happened again! God is so faithful! He continuously reminds me just how Big He really is!
When I look at my life and all that has gone on over the past 2 years I can't help but wonder why? But I am reminded that it is not the why that I am supposed to worry about, rather the where and the what?
Where does He want me to go, and what does He want me to do? It's not about what I want, or where I want to be, it's got to be about Him and His desires.
Today I met another one of His angels, or messengers, if you will, standing in line at the local grocery store. She was a bit shy and yet a bit bold, as well. Her smile was beautiful! Her shoes were worn and her dress a little torn, but I didn't care. I met her by God's design and that is all that matters anyway, isn't it? We transferred our hellos and went about our way. She left before me and I looked for her when I finished by business, but she was gone. Luckily, she wrote down her name. She had a mission, and that mission was me. And I do believe that whatever mission she is given, she would do it with bells on! Praise God, today, she did as she was told.
In the Word of God, in the book of Isaiah, the LORD asks the question...
Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?" And I said, "Here am I. Send me!"
Isaiah 6:7-9
If you read the beginning of Isaiah 6; you will see that Isaiah had just had burning coals placed on his lips, OUCH! If that were me I don't think I'd be so willing to see anyone or go anywhere, except to my room and scream!
But you see, Isaiah, had just experienced the presence of the Almighty God! He just felt His cleansing, forgiving power! As if that's not enough to be excited about, come on!
Realizing what God had done for Him, just made him want to tell the world! To repay God even! Isn't that the way you felt the day you experienced His awesome forgiveness? Do you still feel that way today?
Thank God, He doesn't require us to do anything in return for His precious GIFT. He just desires us to love HIM deeply and share HIS love, with those we meet!
Oh, if we all would be willing to do just as Isaiah, and just like my "new friend".
Let's Talk.
