More Than Enough

You ever wonder if you're doing enough? God has blessed me with certain skills, traits, and talents. Am I using them correctly, efficiently? Am I using them to glorify Him and spread good fruit? Simply, am I on the right path?

Listen, I feel I need to say this first. Time is quickly running out. We need to act upon the prompting of the Holy Spirit, then get confirmation of that call through the written Word of God and from trusted fellow believers. Then do it, man.

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths."

Proverbs 3:5-6

Every single one of us must start somewhere. Like Paul on the road to Damascus, Peter leaving his nets, or Moses leaving his father-in-law Jethro's sheep.

This takes faith. Period.

Remember, Jesus doesn't use the sharpest tool in the shed. (Take me, for example.) No, He uses those who will raise their hand and say, "Lord, all I have are two small fish and five small barley loaves of bread." Jesus will reply, "That's more than enough," then multiply them to feed a multitude of starving souls.

The Big Man is calling us to get started and to use what we have. It might only be a stick, just like what Moses had. But for Jesus, that's more than enough.

I have spoken to many people who are worried because of their past. Maybe they've been through a divorce. Maybe they did something illegal. Maybe they've been to prison. Maybe they had a drinking problem. Whatever it is.

The real question is, is there any hope left for me? Well, the answer is good news. The Lord specializes in taking failures and turning them inside out, making them successes.

You don't have to look too far to find them either...

Be Nice. Grace Wins.
