"God's Power-Our Potential"
We all admire Christian pioneers, so long as
we can just read about them, not finance their journeys. We appaud brave
explorers and evangelists for Jesus Christ, but not if it means we have
to go and travel with them. Creative ideas for sharing Jesus are fine,
but don't get too carried away
When it came time for God to send his Son to earth, he
did not send Him to the palace of some mighty king. He was conceived in
the womb of an unwed mother-a virgin-who lived in the lowly village of
Nazareth. Born in Bethelem, raised by parents who's income came from a
carpenter
In choosing those who would represent Jesus Christ and
establish his Church, God picked some of the most unusual individuals imaginable.
Unschooled fishermen, a tax collector, a mystic, a doubter and a former
Pharisee who had persecuted Christians. He continued to pick some very
unusual persons down through the ages. In fact, He seems to delight in
such surprising choices to this very day
Every Christian has the God-given potential to be a real
follower and servant of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Has God been
calling you to step out, take a risk and use your gifts and talents to
make an eternal difference for His Kingdom ? God will use you, even with
all your mistakes and failures if you are willing to say " hear i am God,
send Me ". Ask God today what He wants you to do with your life to serve
Him. Will you Be the One to answer God's calling, He awaits your answer
For all of us at 5-doves, as we continue to watch for
our Lord's soon return in the rapture, let us use our time wisely and make
an eternal difference for God's Kingdom !!!
have a blessed day, Gary
