Having Nothing...

"Having nothing... " Never reserve anything. Pour out the best you have, and always be poor. Never be diplomatic and careful about the treasure God gives. This is poverty triumphant.

Oswald Chambers


So every morning I read a little from Oswald Chambers writings and many times I am jazzed up from the thinking that it spurs up in me. I wanted to quote the end part of today's devo because I love the reminder it is for me. Man, I want to be resplendent! I want my whole life and everything in me giving glory to God. People hold back in fear and uncertainty when comes to being used by God or being brilliant in their own life for lamey reasons. Why are people so hesitant? God wants to use them to show love and to love on them too. This time, this place, here is not eternal... there is so much to experience... so many people to rock and be blessed by! There is so much more then just yourself. Life is bigger than me and my problems. When people take the time to pour a little crazy joy it starts a chain effect. I want to be a chain starter! I want to be a cup of Jesus coffee for anyone around me. I want to share Jesus with people.

We can be such a beautiful light to the world when...

we slow down and meet people where there at.

we let God move us and not people.

pray right now not after we try and figure it out first.

when we share a hello. or a smile.

we pour it all out without hesitation.

Forget excuses. Its true that life is not happy-happy-joy-joy and people are not perfect but God is. He makes all things good in his perfect timing. In joy and pain he is the same. So I ask myself today... how am I making an impact on Gods most precious creation... people.
