Last time I wrote I spoke about being a bond-servant of Christ. Today I'm continuing that thought with something that God has been speaking to me about, and that's serving joyfully. In 1 Corinthians 12:18 it says “But not hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased Him”. Wanna know what that means to me? That means that God places me in the body to serve WHERE HE WANTS ME. Simply put: Whatever God calls me to, it pleases Him to see me there. And what pleases God should please us, should it not? Another verse: Galatians 6:9 says “And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lost heart”. Meaning that we cannot lose heart in what we're called to do while serving, no matter how hard it gets! No matter how weary you become! Because we will be rewarded in Heaven, no doubt about it. It's a promise.
The summary of what God's been telling me is that even though what I do in my church or in this world may not be recognized, how dare we complain and say “I wish I had his job..” or “If only I was called to do that...” because then we only want to be glorified instead of wanting to glorify the One True God. <--- that last statement is what it's all about anyways, right? To glorify the Name of the Father?
So how could we be so focused on ourselves by saying those selfish thoughts I wrote above! Instead we should be rejoicing because God saw fit to place us where it pleased Him, and so it should please us.
That's all I have, but I really hope it got through and that someone will be blessed by it. I know it blessed me when God revealed it to me, and I had to purge myself of those selfish thoughts so I'm as guilty as any of you in this matter. But just remember these things as you get called by God.
God bless, and blog soon
