Be About Your Fathers Business: You Can Change the World

No Pressure

I realized recently I have spent way too much time worrying about how many people read my posts, if they leave comments and what people are thinking of what I write. So here's the deal, I’m giving this blog to God; it's His to do with what He wishes. It's His choice to bless a few or bless a lot. He is the one that lead me to start writing and it’s for His glory. From the beginning of this blog, I have started my writing by prayerfully asking the direction He would have me take. Each day He fills me with the words that I transfer to the page. I will continue to write from the heart and share what the spirit leads.

So feel free to browse around, stop by everyday if you like or just once in a while if you prefer. I love hearing from you and I will always read your comments. But don't feel pressured to do so. I love every one of you with the heart of God.

In Him and for His glory, Sherri.

You Can Change the World

You have the capablity to change the world.

I'll say it again.

You have the capability to change the world.

We each have within us the same chance. We can be used greatly by God or not.

Maybe you are shaking your head right now and saying "not me." Maybe you believe you weren't designed for greatness. Maybe you think I have really lost my marbles making such a statement. Maybe I have, but I don't believe so.

You, like everyone else, have the capacity to acheive greatness in the kingdom of God. Your belief in this is the first step.

How dare I make such a statement?

I dare because when we believe that God can do great things through us, we take the first step to see amazing things by God. Notice I say "by God" When we yield to Him and are fully open to what ever He wants to do through us He can transform us. We, as a vessel of God are then open to be used greatly.

I believe God wants to use each of us for great things. It comes down to if we are willing. Are we willing to yield? Are we willing to put our own agenda aside? Are we willing to look like a fool or have people ridicule us? Are we willing to really believe?

It is when we step out on faith believing that God can do all things that He can use us for great things of the kingdom.

Our world needs help. Are you willing to be used greatly?

Isaiah 6:8 - Also I heard the voice of the Lord saying: "Whom shall I send, And who will go for Us?" Then I said "Here I am, send me."

Carol said...: This was such a great read. I loved the willingness to let go and be used. I often think when I make calls to government servants, I use it lightly that I am driven to do so. The difference is that I am not mad or mean when I do it. God Bless; April 22, 2009 at 2:23 PM
