Have you ever felt “used?” Don’t you agree it is a hurtful feeling? Stop a moment… consider Jesus! Have you ever “used” our Lord Jesus?
“Lord, I promise if you will move for me in this situation, I will always give you praise!” “Lord, if you will heal me, I will…” “Lord, if you will save my children, I will…” “Lord if you get me out of this mess, I will…” “God, if you give me a good job, help me out of this financial mess, I will…”
How many times have we made broken promises to our Lord Jesus? Does it hurt Him? Does the Holy Spirit give up on us? No, the Holy Spirit doesn’t give up on us, but yes, I believe His heart is bruised often.
Sign seekers: Listen to His words - His thoughts:
“A prophet is not honored in his own home town... An official heard Jesus was coming. His son was dying. Jesus asked, ‘Will you never believe in me unless you see signs and wonders?’” (John 4:44-48) Can’t you feel His tiredness?
“Show us a mighty sign if you want us to believe in you. What can you do?” (John 6:30) Pharisees said, “We must see a sign from thee. (Luke 11:16) The Jews said “What sign can you show me?” “And the Greeks seek world’s wisdom.” (1 Corinthians 1:22)
Over and over again, we see and hear those who use Jesus for their own selfish, personal use. By faith, can we just sit at His feet, requiring nothing but to love Him, and praise Him for ALL the other times?
My prayer is that at all times He knows how grateful and thankful I am for this calling He has placed on my life! And how grateful and thankful I am for all of your prayers, love and financial support. Never would I want you to think I could do this without my precious Father God, the lover of my soul, Jesus, the sweet precious Holy Spirit and you!!
