1 Corinthians 6:19 "....You are not your own." 

 

 I accepted a call long ago that would mean giving up the dreams/ideals I had for myself & to take on instead the ideals My God might have for me. The Lord is faithful & quick to remind me that my life is not my own. Accepting His love, forgiveness, & making that public profession of faith by baptism I was not only confirming for myself & God that my life was His, but to the world watching. I do not always get it right. Actually, I probably get it wrong more than anything else, but my goal, my heart, my passion, is that even that in my wrong, God would somehow use it to bring Himself glory & to bring fellow believers and/or those searching, a little hope.

 

Tonight as I do my devos He has reminded me once again & in no uncertain terms that my life is not my own if I want Him to use it. He also brought to my attention through Exodus3:5 the idea that when we are called to a place, ministry, job, relationship, crisis, etc. we are on holy ground. Not because He has necessarily walked it, but b/c HE is who brought us to it. If He has called you to a mission, big or small, until He is done w it, that space is Holy!! Holy b/c we represent His hands & feet. Holy, b/c He called us there. Holy b/c He is w us there. Holy b/c He, not we, He is going to do a work there. Holy b/c our lives are not our own!! Glory!!

 

Praise Him for the Highs & Praise Him for the lows for it takes both to truly learn Him. You are loved friends/fam/followers. You are prayed for.

I challenge you to consider the Holy Ground He has assigned to you for now.
