Do You Believe In Being Used?

The Lord has been known to use people to help spread his message, to help those less fortunate, to spread love where there is hate, to comfort the broken-hearted.

Do you ever feel like he is using you? This was difficult for me to comprehend until He started, noticeably, transforming my life. He put the opportunity in front of me to become a public speaker, in 1998.

It was neither an opportunity sought, nor wanted.

But it was, indeed, an opportunity.

A huge opportunity. A once in a lifetime opportunity.

And it created in me a confidence I’d never known.

And provided an education money could never buy.

To teach is to learn twice.

To teach, and to write, is to learn thrice.

And in the past three months, I humbly submit to you the growing fruits of this labor.

And something about going back alone, to remind you of the early years.

Kindness…

It Will Also…

Of course, it is the epitome of terror and uncertainty.

One must decide to make the ultimate sacrifice.

In doing so, the captors will release, unharmed, the other to freedom.

The captors give the two good friends until sunrise to decide.

It will be the epitome of your worst nightmare, those moonlit hours before dawn.

It will also the epitome of kindness…
