Used Goods

     I grew up in a home in which flea markets and yard sales made up the family's Saturday morning outings. I learned to find value where others no longer saw it. This, I believe, is how God sees us. We live our lives without Him at its center, and get broken, age worn, and soon dejected.  

     But, God. Regardless of the current situation. No matter how badly you feel, or act.  Regardless of the life you've lived, or the sins you've committed, God sees value in you, because He made you.    Ephesians 2:10 says that we are God's workmanship. In other words, we are His product. Made for Him to use us as He sees fit. 

      The question then becomes, "what are you fit to be used for?" Can God use you in your office, on your job? Your neighborhood, your school, your home and family even? He did place you there by the way. No, it's not a coincidence that you are one of the only believers there. He planned that. Are you open to Him working things His way? 

      This doesn't mean that you have to be perfect, or have it all together before you start being used. You just have to a willing vessel, striving for holiness, and He will use you. After all, He wonderfully made You (Psalms 139:14), through Christ, for His purposes.

Get on God's Agenda! Amen? Amen. 

     We love you, and we are praying for you.
