Called Vessel

“I was made a servant of the gospel by God’s special gift, which he gave me through the working of his power.” ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭3‬:‭7‬ ‭‬‬

We all have a call of God in our life. He has called us all to be a servant of the gospel, to share the good news. As I read this Scripture, I felt the tug on my heart more than ever before. It is one thing to know that you’re called, it is another thing to feel called to a specific role as a servant.

I don’t think my calling is like Paul’s. I am not sure anyone’s is. But now more than ever before in my life I am feeling that tug and despite my natural fear feel like the special gift He has placed inside of me needs to released. I feel His power pushing me, or maybe that is not the right picture, enticing me to go deeper with Him, to be bolder for Him. I feel like it is time to stop holding back and just allow Him to flow through me.

There is so many images of my past, He has brought to mind as a training ground for where He is leading me. He is reminding me of His power and how He has prepared me even when I didn’t realize that is what it was. He is also exposing me to the stories of people who are doing great things who have faced similar stumbling blocks in their past. He has brought encouragement and also confirmed that with Him nothing is impossible.

He has been with me each step of the way. He is preparing me even when I didn’t realize that this is where He was taking me. I am ready to accept His call. It is through fear knowing it will never be because of me but because of His gift and the power of Christ in and through me.

Prayer – Lord, thank You for calling me and continuing to pursue me. Thank You for preparing me for what You have called me to. Help me to walk in faith and obedience as I hear Your voice. Let me not settle for comfortable. Keep me growing into the woman You created me to be. I love You Lord. Here I am, send me. I am a surrendered vessel in Your hands. In Jesus name. Amen.
