I received one of the most undeserved yet highest compliments I have ever received in my life tonight. An unexpected opportunity to witness presented itself as a stranger was drawn to seek words of wisdom and comfort from me as well as prayer over them. This person was so eager and hungry for whatever I could offer them. I was taken totally by surprise and unprepared but I shouldnt have been and God has dealt with me on that. It was as much Him speaking to me as He was to them through me to get my focus back where it belongs and about His business. They said at one point how grateful they were God had placed me in their path tonight and that I should be in a pulpit. That was actually an honor but like a sock to the stomach for me. I stumbled through it and half of it was my own wisdom and not really Him doing all the speaking. When I left He said Now imagine if you had been prayed up and totally in tune as an open, available vessel for me to pour myself through to them untainted by you. This is the purpose for which you have been prepared and called. I dont need you to do anything to be prepared outside of being fully available and empty of you so I can fill you with all of ME. You see, I was half full tonight. Full enough to catch someones attention but not full enough to let myself be used for God to impact them like He wanted to had I been full of Him. He used it as He saw fit and He spoke to them but He also used it to speak to me and make a point. He called us to be a beacon on a hill ... not a flashing caution light at an intersection. You never know when that vessel on its journey is going to need that beacon to guide it home safely. A caution light simply gives off pulses of light to lead you in the right direction.
