statement:  DO SOMETHINGI have been listening to this song, Do Something.  It gives me chills of excitement as I recognize that I have been elected by God to be sent on a mission!

Like, wow!

Me?

And God, keeps telling me ‘yea…you’.

 

My mind is intoxicated with the wonder of ‘how can this be?’ Who am I, that you should confer this joyfilled-responsibility upon?

Immediately, I see my weaknesses, my failures to accomplish His work, and almost just as quickly, I hear God’s voice:  for I have not given you a spirit of  fear, but of power and love and discipline.

I counter:  OK, but….

God counters next:  But, I am God

ME:  but I am me

GOD:  I know…I created you

Hmmm.  The only way this makes sense is to keep laying my questions and concerns, my doubts, my ideas at His feet.  And something amazing happens.  It always happens.  And, I am always amazed.  What I leave at the altar of His glory is far less than what I receive from Him:

  • grace that amazes me to keep goin
  • strength to look to His resources…and not mine
  • hope in realizing that His mission will succeed

His mercies are, truly, new every morning.

Blessings on your Journey
