God Use Me

I have been saying this for the last couple months. I have been asking for God to use me on my campus to spread the good news. Yesterday I realized that God has been giving me opportunities to serve Him. He has given me opportunities to be used by Him. Sarah has asked me to serve in children's ministry, Jeff has asked me to be an usher, Joseph has asked me to be a part of the newcomer's welcome ministry, and just yesterday Daniel was asking me to be a part of the after school program that he is starting and to teach karate there. I am an usher and a welcome person at church now. But what did I say to children's ministry? I did not know if God wanted me to do that. What did I tell Daniel about the once a week teaching karate? I did not have time. I have been waiting for God to give me a divine appointment on campus. But maybe God is trying to tell me to get more involved in church first. How can I ask God to use me and then turn down opportunities to serve Him? How can I expect God to give me more if I am not faithful in what He has already given me?

My new prayer is that God will use me where He wants to. I ask that God will not allow me to pass up opportunities to serve Him.

God will provide opportunities for you to serve Him, don't worry.

Very good that you want to be used by Him, I see how totally surrendered you are to Him and committed to His work.

Great effort, I'm learning from you!
