You know, people
often pray, “God, use me.” Well, he is using you, the Bible makes that
abundantly clear. When you became a Christian, you became an example. God IS
using you. You get to really know God by really getting into what God is
already doing. Instead of waiting for God to do some big thing first. Stop
dreaming about being a celebrity Christian influencer, and start being a godly
influence. You don’t need to reach millions of people who won’t really know
you. You need to reach the many who do know you.
I am not telling you not to dream big. I am saying you aren’t dreaming big enough! You see, the biggest dream is God’s dream. But God’s dream isn’t really a dream like we think of it. His dream isn’t a hope, or wish. It’s a continuing reality. And if you want to do this thing right, if you want to be a good, godly example, you need to make God’s dream your dream. And God’s dream for you is happening right now. God is using you right where you are. Wherever you are. Whenever you are. However you are.
In this life, your future is right now. You don’t need to be big to be built. Big is what God says, how God sees, not how we see. Walk by faith, not by sight. People want God to do something big for them so that they can do something big for God. But they have the wrong measure. God is interested in quality, not quantity. Be interested in quality, and God will take care of the quantity. And it isn’t that if you have good quality that God will increase your quantity. This isn’t about increasing the size and scope of your influence for God. This is about increasing the depth of God’s influence on you.
Your life can be a witness to the worth of Jesus. Not because everything always goes good for you. But because your life proclaims your faith that Jesus is worth it no matter what is going on with you.
