The upshot of this is, I
must go to Him. In pain, in joy, in tears, in laughter. It must be I. And I
must realize that my greatest prayer is for someone one other than me. That I
have presented myself before the Lord on behalf of someone else. And if I pray
for someone as much as I pray and have prayed that God forgive and build upon
my shortcomings then I am truly serving. If I can for once go to Him, shortcomings
and all and confess who I am and ask His blessings for others, knowing that I
am just a human that He has called His and that I know He wants me to talk to
Him, then I can know and truly serve. If it comes from the depths of “I”. The
pain, the hurt I feel for someone’s loss. The joy of knowing and feeling
other’s successes. The smiles that come from the specialness of the day of
knowing and being with someone whether or not there is a relationship there. It
is a truly wonderful experience as a gift which God has given the “I” in me as
well as others and the various “I”’s in them. If I use it properly, it is truly
serving and truly worship of God, because while God is above everything, His
hand is exemplified in everything. If I use this properly, I love with the love
of the LORD. And I can sing His praises with my voice and belong to Him and go
to Him on behalf of others.
Then I can truly serve.
