Thought for the Day

I recently ran across the following anonymous quote:
"What need have we of God when we become God's ourselves?"

What a delightful reflection it would be if we paused long enough to look and wonder if we have become so self providing that we have forgotten what God has done for us; provided for us.

The longer I live in ministry I am becoming increasingly convinced that I need to get back in touch with what Mother Teresa called her "poverty" before God. My need before God. My nothingness before God.

When I acknowledge this I allow room for God to be invited "in" to my life where amazing things are able to be accomplished in the "name of Him who sent me."
