I just spent the last two days at a conference with a bunch of pastors. It was good to hear the truths of scripture being explained and taught with clarity and passion.
I noticed, at one time, how I was 'just one among many' and enjoyed the feeling of not having to lead or carry things along.
I think it would be true to say that one of the core teachings I received was that living the Christian life is not about me having to carry that load, but that Jesus is the One who carries me.
What a wonderful truth!
Mother Theresa once said 'I am a little pencil in the hands of a writing God'. And I say 'yes!' Each of us is 'one among many' who is being carried by a strong and loving God, whose desire it is to reach out to the world we live in. In that--God is using us as instruments through which He 'writes' out His love for the world.
My prayer for us today is that we would rest--rest in Jesus and enjoy the gifts of being His children.
