"Me, Lord, a Servant?"
I remember the day when God revealed to me the state of my heart. It was a beautiful day, the sun was shining, there were blue skies, and on my way to class I stood in awe of all of the natural wonders God created. I remember my prayer that morning as I asked the Lord, "What have you called me to do?" However, it just so happened that God was prepared to, legitimately, change my life and heart forever starting with that one simple prayer. As I walked into the building of my school, the Lord, on this glorious day, opened my eyes to the evil that surrounded me everyday that I just wasn't seeing (or perhaps didn't want to see!) I saw continuous gossip and slander, injustice, the use of cigarettes and drugs among the same teens and young adults I was around everyday. Then, the Lord decided to take it up a notch on me, he revealed to me the spirits that surrounded all of these people; spirits of pain, rebellion, confusion, and so much more. As I witnessed this I almost wanted to weep as I thought, "Here I am living in the blessings, joy, and peace of the Lord, as all of these people stand perishing before my very eyes everyday. Lord what should I do???" His answer was as clear as almost anything I'd ever heard in my spiritual walk with him, as he said
"Serve them as it says in my word with my love which I've placed in your heart."
And I thought, "Oh, that is what I've been called to do!"
Who would've thought it could be so simple?
