What am I but just a tool the Lord can use to spread the gospel? He has so graciously redeemed me so that I may be capable of showing others HIS love. Its not MY message im sharing, its not MY good deeds that they need. Without me, the amazing love of Christ would not be held back. So why am I here? Why am I stepping out of my comfort zone to tell people about Jesus? Because through my brokeness, through my flaws, failures and inabilities the Lord decided to use me. Because of the sacrifice Christ made I am made clean. And through that, redemption God has chosen me, has called me to do his work, to be his hands and feet. Alone I am nothing but in Christ Im redeemed and can bring HIS good news. How beautiful is that?
All that being said I must make a decision every day to take part in HIS great plan. The Lords timing is so flawless even when it doesnt align with our understanding. Who am I to decide who should receive the gospel and at what time and in what way? How am I supposed to tell the Lord when to do something? I cant and I wont. Because I am simply a vessel for his message to be spread how can I allow my feelings to come before the spreading of his word. Philippians tells us to find encouragement and comfort for belonging to Christ. We must take on the attitude of Christ who made himself nothing. Jesus Christ the savior of all human kind relinquished HIS role as King of Kings and become human to save us all. How then, can I, HIS follower feel at all entitled. I have no right to what I want. I am HIS tool and I want him to use me to bring glory to HIS kingdom. I rejoice in knowing that I am a part of HIS amazing plan.
