When you feel like you can do nothing of importance to serve our Lord

Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not people,
Ephesians 6:7


     I have this problem that when I am not doing something earth shaking for our Lord, that I am doing nothing of importance.  You and I need to remember this, anytime we serve another person in any way as a Christian, we serve him that loves us unconditionally and a warm smile comes upon his features.  Anytime we bow down as servants to one another, we serve him, our Lord Jesus.  When you serve him in any way, you become as a king or queen upon this earth and forever more...did he not promise this, and all of his words are Truth and all with love.  

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.
Matthew 5:13-17

 “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
Matthew 5:14-16


     You must pray to be a good servant, you must pray to know your Lord and God, you must pray for a relationship with him that is God of all.  He never hides himself.  Why would the God of all hide as a thief would hide?  It is we that attempt to hide from him who sees all.  Get to know him by reading his word, the Bible, by finding a quiet place and talking with him...and, definitely, listen.  When you begin to feel and hear him, it will change your life.  And, it will happen.


Everything you ask for in prayer will be yours, if you only have faith.
Mark 11:24 

     And...when you think or say, who am I that God almighty himself should be interested in or want a lowly person as myself to be his instrument, remember, this:

But Moses said to God, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?”
Exodus 3:11  

     How do you tell someone who this God is that has sent you to them...he will give you the words.

God said to Moses, “I am who I am. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I am has sent me to you.’”

Exodus 3:14 

     Believe.  Have faith and the Lord shall make believers of those to whom he has sent you.

Moses answered, “What if they do not believe me or listen to me and say, ‘The Lord did not appear to you’?”
Exodus 4:1  

     The Lord gave Moses signs to give the Israelites, so that they may believe. 

and they believed. And when they heard that the Lord was concerned about them and had seen their misery, they bowed down and worshiped.
Exodus 4:31

     Put your burdens on the Lord and each other.  He does not expect you to do anything alone.  He is always there for you and we should always be there for each other...always.

Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.
Galatians 6:2

     Father, you who gave us love that is mightier than any sword of man, you who sits quietly guarding us through our sleep, you who are a river of life to us who love you and have faith in you, give us the wisdom, the strength, the power, the love to gather in those you desire to have in your flock.  Amen
