Glory to God

Often when I speak of the mission work my family is involved in and surrounded by, people respond by saying things like they could never go, they could never leave their family, I admire you for going...oh I just don't think I could........

NEWS FLASH:

They can't!  You can't!  I can't!

But I am thankful that God CAN!  Whoever, whenever and wherever he chooses, He CAN!

If we don't get out of the way, we could be used for nothing!  I am guilty of being a planner and thinking I want to know God's plan.  But I don't want to know until the time is right.  If I knew I would be a big chicken, I would think goofy thoughts like "I can't"!  Without Christ I am simply wandering, lost without the leading and guidance of the Holy Spirit. 



Romans 12:1-2


Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
 
Yesterday during worship these words grabbed me and convicted me of uplifting myself, even if only in my own mind and heart.  

Take my life and let it be
All for you and for your glory
Take my life and let it be yours!

So with God's mercy and grace, today I am dwelling on this scripture.
 
He must become greater; I must become less.  John 3:30

Thankful, Sheryl
