God's Fellow Workers

I want to ask your forgiveness for the length of the last couple posts.  My point in them was simply to share a glimpse into who I am and where my passion comes from.  (That passion which got away from me while writing!)  The way in which God spoke to me at the retreat last March was so incredible that I felt I couldn't do it justice without telling the whole story.  Even in the last few weeks God has continued to lay missions on my heart more and more.  Actually, He's laid people on my heart and missions is only the means by which He's helping me reach the people. 

I do not take for granted the opportunities that God has laid before me in being able to attend a school that sees the importance of spreading the Gospel both in our community and to other nations.  I am so blessed to have people in my life that have encouraged me to seek God and obey His Will for my life.  People that have financially and prayerfully supported my trip thus far and who will in the future.  I cannot thank them enough.  My God is a great God and I am humbled at the opportunity to share His love, joy, peace, and compassion with others. 

For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, God's building.  ~ I Corinthians 3:9

How awesome is that!  That we are God's fellow workers? 

Father, thank You for taking a sinner like me and showing mercy and compassion.  Thank You for sending Your Son to take the punishment I so rightly deserved that I might become God's righteousness and dwell with Him forever.  Lord, as I prepare to step out of my house and into the mission field that is our world, give me the boldness to declare Your love and the courage to live a life that constantly points to You.  I ask that all those who read this would know that they are called to be children of Light and to share that Light with those around them, whether they be at work, school, walking down the street, or in a foreign land.  We are all God's fellow workers!  Amen.
