“Child, do not be anxious about giving Me glory. You do that in every step you take and every word you speak. Your life preaches about Me more than any words can. You are committed to do My will, to reach out to those who hurt, regardless of your own insecurity or nervousness. Your spirit connects to people and hears their unspoken needs. There are not many who do that in a godless world. Your love shines out beyond all words and people know there is something about you that they want. That is the love I have for them wooing them to Me. Go in peace, knowing I love you with endless love."
I stand in awe of Him and pray that I will always put Him first in my life. Sometimes, in trying to do that, I try to force it and it comes off phony. There is nothing wrong with enjoying admiration and I am actually offended when I hear people say "Oh, I'm nothing. It's all God." You are NOT nothing.
You are the spokesperson of the Living God. He loves you and wants you to do the same for others. He has given you a gift of writing, speaking, serving others or having compassion. It's okay to enjoy that. What is truly important is that the life be in accord to God's will. No amount of saying how small you are will do that. You are NOT small. You are the child of the Holy God. He inhabits your life. We can pray for Him to be the forefront of all we do, but if our lives don't add up, then no words will change the impression. Many times, this self-abasement is a form of pride because it keeps us focused on ourselves and not Him. I used the caps for emphasis, not to yell. Rejoice in the gifts God has given you and don't be afraid to enjoy yourself.
Here I am, enjoying myself:
Have a blessed day in the Lord and remember to have fun.
