My Message To God...

My Message to God

It has been a little more than 9 years since You delivered Your calling to me. It was brought to me in my workplace as innocently as only You can do, to open our hearts to Your love, of all Your children.

I watched a person, full of excitement, kindness and concern expressing her desire to help less fortunate people by offering food, clothing and friendship to others she didn’t even know. I wondered why she would do this and was told because they need these things. There was no money, guilt, or preaching as to why this was done. I was invited to see and experience what ‘other’ people go through each day, which I did with some reluctance, not knowing what to expect. My life changed after that experience, my eyes were opened to something I had never considered.

I was invited to meet at the church from where the group gathered the clothing and sandwiches to help with the preparation of the van for the trip downtown. I went into the church, something I haven’t done since the last wedding or funeral that I have been to. That was another experience that I found amazing ! I felt at home ! The building was noisy, kids running around, people talking to each other everywhere. My wife and I were welcomed by all, as my friend took us to our seats. I remember the beautiful songs and the inspirational comments about the songs and what they mean to us. Then the Pastor started to talk…I was hooked, I felt Your presence upon me, You were talking to me through him. The message was to me, You were calling me to be Your child. I couldn’t wait to get back the following Sunday to see if maybe I was just imagining my feelings and that I could do fine without You. I was wrong, Your spirit was in Your house, Your people and Your pastor. I knew I was in the right place.

My life has never been the same since. I desire to know all about Your need for me, what I can do for You. I have a lot to learn, I am but a child, full of wonder as to what the future has in store for me. Day by day I pray for You to help me, give me strength and knowledge and understanding to lead me in Your perfect and holy way. I struggle with the ways of the world and with who I am, I pray to you Lord Jesus every day, life can be so difficult, please give me all Your love, to help me be the man You want me to be and to be an example of You. I want to be Your servant any way that You can use me.

Thankyou, my Father, my Savior, my Redeemer, I need You to be my life, my reason for being here, this short period of time before eternity when Your will, will be done, as You promised.
