Willing to Be Used

Imagine being weighed down by the sin of others. Burden down by their cares, and woes, and worries, and you yourself guilty of none of the things that people have cast onto you. Imagine wrestling with spirits who desire to operate through the desires of people who desire them, but because of You they cannot function at the maximum level of capacity they desire to and others of them rendered completely inoperable. Unmerited attacks is what Jesus experienced while He was walking the earth and yet He still walked it in order to fulfill His destiny.

His destiny is the very thing that humanity needed and needs in order to thrive, survive, in order to make it home to where Jesus is.

This is the suffering that we too must take part in if we are to reign with Jesus. Wronged by people that He simply loved, and gave of Himself to. I know sometimes it may feel like all people don't deserve love and kindness and forgiveness at times, but we can't allow our feelings and emotions to get in the way of God's truth.

Sometimes we can find the justifiable evidence in the everyday observations of people as to why what the Bible requires in terms of the treatment of people surely can't be applicable to all, but the Bible stands as the source of truth whether we agree or disagree. Somebody has to choose to be amongst the people who will choose to love--offering forgiveness, patience, peace, and more.

Love eases the suffering that comes with simply being human. Your bold choice to carry a burden to Jesus so that He can give you the grace and strength to aid someone else in their journey can be the difference between whether or not a person changes for the better or worse. It can be the difference between whether or not they make it or not.

At the end of the day, almost every human being just wants to feel like they belong somewhere, and their purpose on life isn't caught up in the vanity of nothingness. Jesus is where purpose is found.

If we desire to see things worked out, people delivered, the blessings and miracles of Jesus that the Bible talks about, then we to must be willing to be used by Him, just like the people in the Bible chose to be. Are you willing to be used by God?
