God's Team

"After this he went out and saw a tax collector named Levi, sitting at the tax booth; and he said to him 'Follow me.' And he got up, left everything, and followed him. Then Levi gave a great banquet for him in his house; and there was a large crowd of tax collectors and others sitting at the table with them. The Pharisees and their scribes were complaining to his disciples saying, 'Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?' Jesus answered, 'Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick; I have come to call not the righteous but sinners to repentence.'" -Luke 5:27-32

If you quiet yourself, and look into your heart and see sin, brokenness, incompleteness, inadequacies, failure, ugliness...Rejoice...God is calling you. Because "Jesus is not looking for people who have something to offer. He is looking for people who are willing to accept His offer and follow Him."

God so much desires to use us. To do great things through us. We just have to get up and go.

I think sometimes my problem is, I desire to do great things, I honestly have heart to serve God in a big way, but that so often I loose focus on the little great things that happen or that I could do everyday.

I want to invest in people the way God invests in me. More than just holding doors and flashing a smile, but talking to people, getting to know them, and find out where they are with God. Even if its not finding out where they are with God, just finding out how they are doing. really.

Talking, real conversation, not just small talk, is so important.

Too many people lack people who care about them. I am incredibly blessed. I have an amazing community of people who love me and who I love dearly. People who "have nothing better to do than worry about [me]" ( I told you I would quote you dear!). People who really care. Its an amazing thing to know you are blessed with love.

I am tired.

Oh yeah, by the way, God's been talking to me again...it's good times.
