When God calls you...

... you just have to say, "Yes". Without "buts", "wells" or "ifs". And there is such a temptation to do that!!! I'm astonished how often we, who call ourselves "the children of God", do not honour our Father in Heavens with obedience. We argue, we put our opinions above His, our needs above His commandments. We make ourselves kings and queens without His blessing, beforehand. We want to rule because we know that we have been given the blessing to rule, but we don't want to obey, because that is not what the kings and queens do. Obedience is meant for servants and children, but not for queens and kings...
It is hard to bow down. It is hard to kneel. It is hard to say, "I'm sorry, I've let you down. Forgive me if you can." The pride is penetrating the Church, and there is one who puts some wood into the fire. I hate him, the enemy.
Who is your king? Your church, your ministry, your goodwill, your job, career, husband, dreams, plans, personal comfort, money, feelings of loneliness, or else? Who or what stands in between you and the Creator of the Universe? I want... No, I AM giving it all to You, my King, my God whose love is sweeter, whose song is sweeter, at whose feet is the best place to be. Everything else is vanity, just the passing dust. "Everything will pass, but my words will remain forever", thus says the Lord. And I intend to say "yes" when He calls me...
