Wow, I missed a week and now I’m late. Not great stats lately. My Scripture for this week is Psalm 51:12-13
Restore to me the joy of your salvation
and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.Then I will teach transgressors your ways,
and sinners will turn back to you.
Yesterday at church the pastor asked if we could dream big and do anything we wanted for God, what would we do? No one answered out loud and when I thought of mine, for some reason I was embarrassed and thought number one, surely *I* couldn’t do that and number two, how silly and unimportant that would be?
Wanna know what I thought of? I would love to be a writer of some sort and a speaker. Which is sort of weird because if you know me, I get embarrassed in crowds easily so it seems what I really wouldn’t want to do. I’ve often said I’d like to like Beth Moore and while I don’t want to be her or take her spot in her ministry, I would love to do something like that.
And then I read these Scriptures and realize, you know, some people’s great dream may be to win people for Christ cities and countries at a time but if I were to write a devotional or bible study type book and affected even one person. If it brought someone in sin back to His ways, it would worth it.
I’ve screwed up enough in ways I don’t even want to admit. But so has everyone. And God has restored me each and every time and His salvation is my joy. And if I can use my life to affect any number of people even if it’s just through posts on a personal blog–if that’s the only writing I’ll ever do, I’m good with that.
So how about you? To participate, simply post a verse, a set of verses or even just a reference to a verse that means something to you now or maybe even in the past. Explain why it’s important or don’t. It’s up to you. Go now and post and then come back. Post your name and then a direct link to you blog entry. If you don’t have a blog, feel free to leave yours in the comments. Here is the code for the graphic above.
