Word Filled Wednesday-Be His Instrument

PhotobucketAmazing thought isn’t it?

Yet sometimes, we go about our lives as if He works for us and not the other way around.

A family member use to work as a carpenter and everything was done by hand.

Everything.

He had the skill and even to this day, would make things from scratch rather than just buy a carbon copy of many that are sold at the stores.

What he created, is something that is guarenteed to forever be a family heirloom, because we know of the time and work that was involved in his creations….and the same goes with us.

We aren’t carbon copies of each other and we’re not meant to be carbon copies of each other; Each of us are unique creations by our Heavenly Father and the thing is, He’s not through with us just because we think He is through with us.

Every tear, every laughter, every heartache, every joy, is Him working on us and our lives and refining us and the truth is that in the end, it’s not to reflect us, but Him.

Does that mean His selfish?

NO!

It means that He uses, you, me, all of us to reach out to those who  are walking around, never worked on, who are broken, who are missing pieces in their lives, to show THEM, what HE can do through His examples: us.

Heavy burden of responsibility isn’t it, but one that was already borne by His Son who died for you, for me, so the big work, the big price, has been paid in full and we are offer a no assembly required option.

This option is basically, we submit to His hands and let Him guide us, work on us, we live by Him and His words and allow Him to do the work that He needs to do.

Remember what it’s like trying to get a project done with more than one hands involved. It’s your vision, but if people are not on the same boat, remember the difficulty of getting things done or going?

Same with Him.

We need to take the time to read the bible, to listen to Him, to let Him guide us on what His vision for us and what we need to do to help HIM, reach that vision.

That’s where our faith needs to kick in and just trust Him; God is in control and He is not going to give us anything He hasn’t already seen, to His glory, will work out in the end. For us, we are just getting a preview, but our Father, He is the one with the blueprint. It’s just having faith in letting Him take us where He knows we need to go.

    “…in the day of Jesus Christ.” Can you imagine the Day of the Lord? How awesome, how majestic (and even a little frightening). The end of time as we know it will come. And then comes eternity. Oh hallelujah!
