What if ...
What if I could see what HE sees? How would I be different? Is there anything He expects of me that I can deny Him? The short answer, in the human, is yes. But the Apostle Paul found the secret to going all out. He learned that God doesn't expect anything beyond what we are able and equipped to do.
Ephesians 3:7-8 (The Message) This is my life work: helping people understand and respond to this Message. It came as a sheer gift to me, a real surprise, God handling all the details. When it came to presenting the Message to people who had no background in God's way, I was the least qualified of any of the available Christians. God saw to it that I was equipped, but you can be sure that it had nothing to do with my natural abilities.
I can't imagine the list of "options" that God would list me with if He were to offer me like an auto or item of hardware. But I know that if I'm a wrench He won't try to use me like a hammer until He has satisfied Himself that my transformation into a hammer is complete. All I have to do is learn to say "swing away" Lord.
