"Because a loveless world is a sightless world," said Jesus. If anyone loves me, he will carefully keep my word and my Father will love Him - we'll move right into the neighborhood! John 14:23
God never asked us to be perfect. Many times we miss the will of God in our lives because we feel like we are not worthy to do it. Well, after about the 100th time this happened to me I started to think...will I EVER feel worthy? Probably not! So this whole time I have not done what I know God is telling me to do because I don't feel like I am worthy. Thats pretty selfish I must say! Here God is asking time after time after time...DO THIS, DO MY WILL, ITS WHAT YOU ARE REALLY PASSIONATE ABOUT, SO DO IT! And what is my response? "OK, I will do that, but after I have read a little more of the Bible, and when I have gone at least 2 weeks without having a negative thought, and after I receive at least 3 confirmations...THEN I will do it, ok God." How selfish can I be. Meantime there are hundreds, and probably thousands of lost dying souls, just waiting for ME to be BOLD, waiting for me to BELIEVE not only in Father God, but in MYSELF! How can I be so selfish?
Lord, I will do your will! I repent for making excuses and backing out time after time...NO LONGER will I run from my destiny! You have called me by name to shake the earth with the sound of Heaven. So here I am, send me. Here I am, mold me. Here I am, use me. Because its not for me, its for YOUR GLORY. I can't do this by myself!! Are you kidding?
Shake everything that needs to be shaken, make me ONE with YOU!
"You didn't choose me, remember, I chose you, and put you in the world to bear fruit, fruit that won't spoil. As fruit bearers, whatever you ask the Father in relation to me, he gives you. But remember the root command: Love on another." John 15:16-17
