The other day I was feeling really overwhelmed about whether or not I could really do anything He would ask of me. I read this and was so uplifted!
"Unlike the unprincipled political or business leader who uses people up and then discards them, God never fails to sustain us. Knowing that the LORD we serve is also the Lord who loves us, we need not fear that He will take advantage of us or that He will ask us to do something we cannot possibly do. Realizing who the Lord is will enable us to stop worrying about who we are or what we lack so that we can abandon our lives to Him, confident we can do whatever He asks through the grace He supplies.
Surely God is my help; the Lord is the One who sustains me. (Psalm 54:4)
One thing God has spoken, two things have I heard: that You, O God, are strong, and that You, O Lord, are loving. (Psalm 62:11-12)
But You, O Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness. (Psalm 86:15)
Pray for the grace to become a servant like Jesus."
