Yesterday PC gave an eye opening sermon of the genealogy of Jesus. Found in the first chapter of Matthew it was amazing to see the women that were mentioned in the lineage of Jesus and how God used them for the ultimate gift.
Reminds me of my gifts and that I shouldn't discount myself as a person who can't share the good news of Jesus. Take Mary for example, just a simple ordinary person who was a teenager and hadn't lived much until the angel of Lord came to her and rocked her whole world. There is a song I was listening to right before my computer decided to be wonky, that is all about Joseph and "Why me". Why did God choose these ordinary people to bring to the world His greatest gift.
During my testimony I can see how God has used my past to define my future. But it is not definitive of my identity. That is the part that I need to remember. My past has shaped me (literally and figuratively) but it doesn't define who I am. I think he has given this sermon before because I remember blogging to something similar to this before. Or maybe I am just having de javu! God knew I needed to hear it again!
Thank you God for all of your blessings. I pray for the correct words and confidence to complete the interview I have today. I feel that it is part of your plan that we move and I am ready to follow where you lead me. I love you so much and thank you for your fist of Jesus, no matter how He came to us, You saw the people that society had discarded and let their story be a part of the most beautiful gift of all. Help me to remember that my past has brought me to where I am in Your glory and showed me that You are the only one that can undo what I have become!
