Purpose

I know this isn't a new thought or revelation...but it is a fresh one for me right now.

Without God, I am useless. Even though He created me for a purpose, apart from Him I cannot/will not accomplish anything of eternal value.

A light bulb without electricity flowing through it is useless. A sink faucet without water flowing through it is useless. A vehicle without gasoline flowing through it is useless. It doesn't matter what function they are supposed to have. Without their source, they are useless.

God is our source. He is my source. All of my talents and abilities and desires and callings are nothing if I don't stay connected to Him. Jesus said that there would be some who prophesied in His name, healed people, and did all sorts of ministry that He wouldn't even recognize.

I don't want to be a professional floor display for God. I want to...I need to know that as I'm seeking His pleasure and His face that His spirit is flowing through me.

That's where I am today. I'm aware of this truth. How 'bout you?
