Devotion

Right Where You Are
 
1 Thessalonians 5:24 (AMP) Faithful and absolutely trustworthy is He who is calling you [to Himself for your salvation], and He will do it [He will fulfill His call by making you holy, guarding you, watching over you, and protecting you as His own].
 
Let this be a pressure releaser for you: You cannot get yourself ready for God to use you. As a matter of fact, that’s not even your business – it’s God’s! What you can do is believe that God can use you right where you are and right now – whether you want Him to or not. Ain’t that something??? Elevate your mind! Accept the fact that you are here in the world because God put you here. No matter your circumstances are, you - first and foremost - belong to God. He loves you, and He wants you in your good stuff and your bad stuff. God wants all of you! So, don’t delay. Right where you are – right now – lift your hands up to the sky, and say, “Father, here I am! You can have all of me!” Release your past; release all doubt and shame. Surrender your present and your future into the hands of a loving Father Who is more than capable of revealing a beautiful light to the world through your life.
