Morning
Sunday's message......God needs His people!
When we give our lives to God, when we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour, when we turn to the cross and understand the price paid for our salvation.....we die to self. We are a 'new' creation.
God chose to work through the imperfect, the frail, the despised, the poorest of the poor....He chose US with all our faults, warts and blemishes to do His will on earth. God chose to reveal himself through us, to the world.
Now, the question...how can He do that if we are not willing to GO! If we are not willing to share what Jesus Christ has done in our lives, to speak of the work He is doing in us and through us? God needs our feet, He needs our hands, He needs our ears and eyes.....the Holy Spirit will do the rest. He will work through our frailties, our lack of knowledge, our inabilities...if we would just allow Him.
Our lips are His to reach others...those in pain, those hurting, those in distress, those who are lost...He will speak to them, through us....imperfect humans but all the same, 'works in progress'. We must simply make our vessel available for Him to use...the Holy Spirit does the rest......
So, ask God for boldness, ask God for opportunities.....and allow Him to do the rest
