La Vie de Miccah Marie
my thoughts on life, love, faith, and motherhood
All I HAVE
I was reading Romans 15, and was struck particularly by verse 14. In summary it reads;
You have accepted Jesus as your Savior. You have the Holy Spirit living inside you. You have everything, all the tools necessary to teach and minister to others. Stop making excuses!
Moses stuttered
Peter denied Jesus three times
Jonah ran away from his calling
Abraham tried to fulfill God’s promise by himself
David had an affair and then had her husband killed
Jacob deceived his father and swindled his brother
Rahab was a prostitute
Ruth was a widow and an outsider
Yet God used all of these human failures to fulfill his purposes and grow His family and His Kingdom.
He can take what I have and turn it into a beautiful and miraculous story, if I just lift up my hands to Him and surrender.

So true – God uses what we have, both strengths and flaws, when we offer it to him. Visiting from FMF#11

All I have is what I was,
but it’s not what I will be.
I am confident because
God’s taken hold of me,
and kinda turned me inside out,
upsidedown and front to back,
but I really don’t need to pout,
’cause I need not keep track
of the changes He has made;
I’ll leave all that in His hands,
and as for those old cards I played,
I know He understands
that a once and present fool
can one day be a useful tool.
