Watching birds eat from our feeders, dogs play and just exhaling. It's a very good place.
The devotional I was reading today reminded me that each of us is gifted exactly as God intended so that we can be used by Him for the purpose of spreading His message.
I Corinthians 3:8-10 says, "He who plants and he who waters are one, and each will receive his wages according to his labor. 9 For we are God's fellow workers. You are God's field, God's building. 10 According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled[a] master builder I laid a foundation, and someone else is building upon it. Let each one take care how he builds upon it.
It reminded me that although the Lord is the divine Sower, He places seeds in MY hands! I don't have to have it all figured out, just be ready to take advantage of opportunities he lays right in front of me every day to sow into someone's life!
I loved this line from the study, " When I'm exhaling and not hyperventilating He uses me to spread seeds." We are not usable when we're running non-stop and not listening to that quiet voice that allows us to recognize opportunities to spread the seed so the Holy Spirit can do God's work in someone's life.
I had a conversation with someone at Crossroads this weekend who said "as I get older I just look at my life and wonder, what have I done with my life?" This is the tug at our heart to find our life's work and worth in Jesus alone. Simply living an 'available' life with a heart surrendered to Him - with time to listen is all He requires.
It's no accident where God has placed you, there are seed to be sown that only your can spread!!
