Sunday night I had the opportunity to share with everyone who was at Crave something that GOD revealed to me. I have become way too civilized and have come to fit in a mold. I have allowed GOD's call on my life of "Come" then "GO" to simply become "Come and Listen". It had started to become all about me and how I got fed or how I felt during worship or what I wanted. I was simply becoming a woman of selfish faith because when I take out the "Go" part of the mandate my eyes move from being about spreading GOD's glory to all about what He's doing in me.

While I never want to take for granted the work GOD is doing in me and how much He s growing and changing me everyday, I have to daily remind myself that He's not doing it for me. He is changing me from glory to glory so that I may be a vessel of his glory. So I can be JESUS with skin on.

When I keep that in mind my daily focus turns from looking only in the mirror and seeing what He's done for me, but then also opening my front door, back door, and my garage door to see who GOD is placing in my path that I can be JESUS to. He may even have placed someone in the back of my yard in the corner of the fence and I have to look to find them. I must remember that His feet are my feet. If I don't go, he won't go. And His hands are my hands, if I don't help He won't. Not because He can't. He is all powerful, but He has designed this world to include us in His story.

True if I don't go, He will raise up someone else. But do I really want that to be my story? That GOD placed someone outside my garage door for me to help and show His love to, but I didn't see them because I was too busy looking in the mirror and admiring the changes GOD has made in me.

How can I keep the "Go" part continually a priority without sacrificing the "Come" part of making sure I spend time sitting at His feet and learning to hear His heart beat so mine may beat with His?
