During our retreat at The Cove this past weekend God amazed me yet again. We talked about “Footprints Wanted” on Friday night. On Saturday the women heard about “Ashes to Beauty” and then that night we talked about “Let my Word be established”.  As I sat through all of these sessions I was brought to the realization of how much God desires for me. He wants me to have a life I can only dream of. He wants more for me, than I want for myself. But, and there is a big one. It is going to cost something. It is going to take service, obedience, humility, mercy, grace and love. As those things begin to work in my life more, God’s promises and blessings will be brought forth.

So many times we view Christian service as what we can and will do for God. That is completely wrong. Christian service is about allowing God to work through and in our lives. He wants our footprints. He wants us to go. He wants us to follow. How long will we continue to sit mulling over past hurts and wallowing in fear?

God strengthen me for this day. Show me your desire for me today. Help me be obedient to you. Guide me and direct me. Let my life be a sign pointing to you, Lord. I pray no one see me, just the work of Your hands.
