Day 25 and so 25 items exit my life. Some of them go to the trash heap. How many plastic mats advertising businesses does one need? Other items are tools that may be invaluable to strangers. So, to the donation site they go. My apartment only has limited space. How did I accumulate so many items?
In the same way, I only have limited space in my heart and mind. What’s taking up all this mental real estate? I have tasks which overwhelm me, but are they in the Father’s plan? I worry and fret over my inadequacies. Finding peace is challenging.
I am not the sharpest knife in the drawer. God gives many opportunities, but am I really obeying Him when I say “yes”? There are more qualified people. What did I get into when I said, “Here am I, send me”?
Indeed, He sent me. I look at what God is doing. All those conversations which bless both me and the other person. The work of the Holy Spirit displayed in lives I see being changed. I said, “Here am I, send me.” God is filling my life with opportunities that are not to be discarded.
My apartment is emptying out, but my soul is full and overflowing with the graciousness of God. I am not the wisest, the most intelligent, or the most gifted. However, I continue to say, “Here am I, send me.”
