For years I have prayed and desired to be a vessel of honor.....worthy of my Masters use...(my Master is Jesus). It has taken many lessons, rebukes, chastisements to bring me to where I am today.....it didnt happen over night! The LORDs mercy is new every morning and we dont have a Father that stays angry with us....but is all about desiring His plan and purpose for our lives to come to pass....knowing that it is what we were designed for.....it is how he wired us (if you will), its what drives us and makes us individuals and unique parts of His body! He has ways to humble us and cause us to desire Him above all others! Its not hard to discern an impostor.....those who still love this world....care about the things of this world and those who follow their own hearts and desires instead of His! I recognize those who have been to the same woodshed with the Father as I have.....I clearly can tell those who carry His mark upon them as do I.......I can listen to someone talk for a few moments and know the depth of their relationship with Him....when someone brings forth a message and say it is from the LORD.....I have little trouble recognizing the voice of my LORD and Master....whether it is of Him or not! What a privilege and honor it is to lead others into the sheepfold and introduce them to the Good Shepherd. What joy to see the lambs and sheep frolicking in the fields.....wounds all bandaged up.....balm applied.....healing taking place spirit, soul and body and the security, peace and rest they have in the presence of the Good Shepherd. Watching them be fed the bread of life and being led by the still waters....drinking life giving water! What a wonderful thing to serve and follow Jesus.....to take others to Him realizing that He is their source! It is Jesus who saves their souls.....it is Jesus who writes their names in the book of life......it is Jesus who baptizes them in the Holy Ghost so that afterwards they may be endued with power from on high......it is Jesus who leads and guides them....by His Spirit teaches them and comforts them.......there is no need in Jesus....He supplies all that we have need of! When we realize that it is all in Jesus.....that we only have to have faith to believe that HE CAN......that takes the load, the burden and the focus off of us and puts it on Him....HE is able and HE CAN! And WE CAN do all things.....through Christ who strengthens us.....there are NO failures in the Kingdom of God....to those who walk in obedience to the LORD! No condemnation......only forgiveness waiting for the repentant heart......love bestowed upon His children who dare come to Him that He may correct them and wipe their tears....helping to once again place their feet upon His path of righteousness! Thank you Father......you are amazing! Your Servant, ~Patty
