The Painful Awareness of Place

I am becoming painfully aware of my place. This sounds like a bad thing, but it is a blessing that I have utmost thanks for. My awareness is that I am loved, that I am a child of the living God, and I am His.

This is the journey that I am on. It can be painful, but it is in this pain that I am comforted. It is in this place where I am intimately meeting with my Love, with my Lord.

First Call....

I feel called to minister to others...how quickly I seem to forget that my first calling is to be ministered to by God. My first call, and the primary one in my life, must be to be with God. This can be through others around me, or through the powerful movement of the Holy Spirit. This is what it means to be a disciple.

I would rather sit at His feet
Than stand in front and preach
