As I sit again on my porch and reflect on what greatness God has provided for me I am amazed at His love and grace. There are times when sitting quietly before our God can be so refresshing, like a tall cold glass of lemonade on a hot lazy day of summer.
That refreshing feeling comes over us when we allow the HOLY SPIRIT to reside within us and work through us to bring forth the gifts given to us. You might say, but pastor I don't know what these gifts are? This is a perfect time to sit quietly and reflect on skills and talents that come so naturally to you.
You see, God knows you better than you know yourself; for God created you to be just the way you are. Frustrations and All!
The HOLY SPIRIT is partner with our Creator that brings forth power and authority in our spritual lives to accomplish things we never thought we could.
Remember the Scripture written in Matthew 28: 18-20
"And Jesus came and said to them,
'All authority in heaven and on earth
has been given to me. Go therefore and
make disciples of all nations, baptizing
them in the name of the Father, and of
the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching
them to obey everything that I have
commanded you. And remember, I Am
with you always, to the end of the age." (NRSV)
There are no better or stronger words than these when we accept the fact that God will work through us, flaws and all!
Until next time,
Be Blessed!
