I am sitting in my "prayer chair" across from my bed watching my 8 year old and 10 year old fast asleep in my bed. Two thoughts cross my mind, if I don't move them, it will be very crowded in my bed tonight, and how much I love them both and could sit and stare at them for hours. I think that is what God thinks about us too. Not the 'my bed will be crowded' part, the how much I love them part.
Pastor Melissa preached this morning at our church, a rare thing, but the message was awesome! She spoke about how we have believed lies about ourselves. Things that are untrue and not what God says about us. I know I have had those "You're not good enough" and "There is no way that you are going to be able to do THIS thing" thoughts. Even those, "I am just average" thoughts. When I started this blog, I did hesitate at calling myself an average person, because I know for a fact that I am no longer average since I have been found in Christ. I have been set apart, called, chosen, set in heavenly places with Christ Jesus, I am more than an over comer, I am victorious in Christ Jesus, I am a princess, a queen and a royal priest, I am His and I am brand new.
However, this blog was meant to accentuate what happens when an ordinary person comes in contact with the Divine and heaven meets earth, because this same stuff is available to every single person. Now I would love to think that I am His absolute favorite, and He does in fact love me more than any other person on this planet now, in the past and in the future. However, I know that He is no respecter of person and what He will do through me He will do through anyone. The inverse of that, and the good news for me, is that what He will do through His greatest servants He will also do through me as diligently seek Him. The abridged version: EVERY SINGLE BELIEVER CAN WALK IN HIS HEALING POWER! THANK YOU JESUS!
Needless to say the ministry team got to pray with a lot of people this morning. There are so many people out there everywhere that have believed the lies that they can't do it, they aren't good enough, smart enough, pretty enough, whatever the lie, that they are unworthy. They are in the churches, in the streets, in our workplaces and schools in businesses and the places we have lunch. They are everywhere just waiting and longing silently for a hand to reach out and touch them and tell them that God loves them, He sees them and He cares about them. God, I am so grateful to You for letting me be Your hands and Your feet. Lord, help me to be more like You so that I won't miss touching a single life. In Jesus' Name Amen.
