God wants us to be more than simply messengers of the gospel through our words, but
as living, breathing words. Our greatest
testimony can be the message we live in our homes, ministry, work,
neighborhoods, etc.
I
am a living picture of who Christ is, but I am not always the best image
possible. Thankfully, God is working on that as only He can, through character
development. Character development isn’t
usually much fun, but at least I have learned to recognize the signs of this
engagement.
Lately
I have been feeling like an exposed earthworm thrashing about, trying to get
back to my safe, comfortable abode. God is bringing me out into the light to
see myself the way I really am, not so great but loved so much that He won’t
allow me to stay underground. He has a plan for me, but I need some character
quality upgrades. Uncomfortable though it is, I welcome my unearthing.
It
is necessary for those ministering in worship arts to be transparent so our
message is clear. Humbling ourselves
under the mighty hand of God and allowing the Holy Spirit to cleanse us is key.
In so doing we take on His character, and we find God is able to do things
through us in greater measure. He can shine through us.
