Part 3 of Revelation through a Friend)
As soon as I was done writing this post (Fish Out of Water)... I started watching this serman that David Peirce was giving somewhere... and he was talking about his surrendering. It is not about me, it is about Jesus. If God gives belonging to my friends or my brother, Jesus just looks at me and goes, "What's it to you! It is not about their calling... it is about your calling. Are you willing to take up your cross and follow me? It ain't no cake walk."
God, you are sooo good to me. That in my dark and depressing times you look at me and give me that gentle calming word of truth. That I have a calling unlike my brother, unlike my friends, unlike anyone. I have a calling as unique as me. All the things that happen in my life are only conditioning or teaching that I might have a better ministry to Your lost sheep. I was never my own, but I am Your's and it is not my life, but Your life. And because it is Your life, You can do anything that You want with it.
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. -2 Corinthians 1:3-4
Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
-1 Peter 5:6-7

I am learning this same thing right now.
ReplyDeleteThat whatever He has for me... is more than enough... because if He gave it to me, He can certainly use it for His glory.
And that is what I'm here for.
Glad to see you know it too.
