March 21, 2013 - Chosen To Serve




Chosen:  I chose you, before you chose me. Ephesians 1.  We must never stop thanking God for the great gift of His Son, Jesus. He was sacrificed on the cross for each one of us. Jesus prayed for those who were crucifying Him. Luke23:34 “Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing.” His prayer opened the way of salvation for each one of us.“ Because of His great sacrifice, the veil, (Luke 23:45) which separated us from approaching God directly, was torn. We now have access to God through our prayers and just talking to Him.  Ephesians: 1: 16-18. As we accept Jesus into our life and talk with Him, He fills our life with wisdom, knowledge, understanding and a revelation of who He is.

Romans 11: God has given each of us many gifts. We need to dedicate these gifts to serving Him while there is still time. God gave each of us the power of the Holy Spirit to reach out and touch the lives of others to bring them into His kingdom. God, through the power of the Holy Spirit will guide you. I recently saw a picture of Jesus reaching out His hand to a small child as she was crossing a stream with big rocks blocking her way. That child is each one of us. When troubled or making a difficult decision, ask God how to proceed. He will reach out to us. Jeremiah 32:17 “Nothing is too difficult for God.”  Ephesians 5:20 “Remember to give thanks to God.” Serving is a choice we make.
