“I want to live so God, can use me, anywhere, anyplace, anytime. I want to live so God gets the glory, anywhere, anyplace, anytime.”
Most of you don’t remember that song as it is before our time, however the words still ring true today. I was talking to one of my prayer partners earlier and we were talking about how God asked of obedience from us.
Operator, yes what is your emergency, Information please, Give Me Jesus on the line.
During the semester that just ended, I asked God to increase my anointing and use me in mighty ways, I finally had decided that it was time for God to move my plans out of the way and allow his plans to supersede. I thank God for all the trails he sent my way last semester and for allowing me to build my strength. During my free-time during or between class I would usually go into the university chapel, play the piano sing and more often than not pray. I would often just lay before God and just express myself. I am thankful for those times of prayer and building a closer relationship with God. I don’t have that many friends, for various reasons, but I can remember one day last semester I was trying to be friends with someone and things just were not going well. I went to a table in the cafe by-myself and God said “Ryan, stop, your trying to hard. If I had meant for that person to be your friend I would have laid it on their heart and they would have already accepted you.” You know that hurt, but I appreciate what God said to me, and I took heed.
All I can say to God is that I’m available to him, for he gave me a second chance, and I’m determined to be sold out for him. I’ve got something to shout about, he turned my life around and gave me new life again. I can tell the world how he cleaned and brought me up. NOW LET ME BE CLEAR, I AM IN NO WAY PERFECT, NIETHER HAVE I CROSSED EVERY I and dotted every T. However I just try to live my life in a way that’s pleasing to God, I make mistakes, I sometimes say and do things that I shouldn't, however I never have not been humble enough to get on my eighteen year old knees and ask God for forgiveness. And that my fellow blog readers is the key, being humble and a willing vessel for God, in any capacity that he decides to use you, remain humble. I was talking to my sister the other day, and I said to her, “Benita, all God wants is a willing vessel”. We are the physical representation of Jesus Christ on earth, we are the salt of the earth, we are to spread God’s love and plan for mankind. If we don’t tell others that God heals, that God saves, that God loves them unconditionally, who will?
I know what God has done for me, and if he never does anything else, he’s already done enough. I serve God because I want to and its not forced.
I was born premature 1 pound and 5 3/4 ounces, now I’m 5’6 140 (I Wish!) Its 160 pounds now and 19yrs old.
