Enamored with myself.

Sometimes we can become so enamored with the 'glamorous' work we're doing for Christ, enamored with how wonderful we are at doing His work, or how irreplaceable we are for the advancement of His kingdom; that we can forget that God doesn't 'need' you for His work to be completed; but rather 'chooses' you to do it...


AWWW who am I kidding....

Sometimes I can become so enamored with the glamorous work I am doing for Christ... enamored with how wonderful I am at doing His work, or how irreplaceable I am in the advancement of His kimgdom; that I can forget that God doesn't need 'me' for His work to be completed; but rather 'chooses' me to do it.

God could have used any ole' potential queen to rise up... but He CHOSE Esther.
God could have used any man to come face to face with Pharoah... but He CHOSE Moses...
God could have used any old guy to build an old... but He CHOSE Noah...

Do you get the picture? ...cause I could go on and on...haha...

It is such an honor and blessing to be used by Christ to bring glory to God and help in the advancement of the kingdom... but that can never be an excuse to allow pride to inflate our ego into thinking we are above anyone else.

God knows that He's doing... He created us... He knows our weaknesses and our strentghs... He knows our potential and where we need to grow. He's God. He's in control. And He's got the master plan.

I recently (well... as of today) began a transition in a journey of discipleship where I am basically stepping down and allowing someone else to take lead to the next level. And while my prideful flesh wants to protest for purely selfish reasons; the Spirit inside has calmed my flesh and showed me that the change is truly the next step for spiritual growth. God has used me and my gifts for the time I've been involved; and now has placed someone else with different gifts to continue the work. It is such a humbling experience and yet such an amazing one to see how God weaves together this masterful quilt of life. 

The best part? He's not done with me yet... I eagerly anticipate the next journey He will send me on...

Until we meet again my loves. :-)
