I was recently asked to share my favorite hymn and scripture verse. There are so many to choose from, right? Am I able to narrow it down to just one? And what if, that was the only hymn - the only verse - for all time? Impossible! Let it not be so! There are different songs and verses that are perfect for different times in our lives. While I love some of the old time hymns, I have also fallen in love with some of the newer, more contemporary praise music as well. And my favorite scripture verse from three years ago is different from the one I cling to today. I am glad to have them all available.
One song. One verse. One style of art. One style of writing. Like - only one devotional book written. Only one. Of anything. Can you imagine?
What if God stopped at the rose and not went on to daffodils, tulips, violets or hydrangeas? What if He stopped at the pine and not the oak, apples but no peaches?
“O Lord, what a variety of things you have made! In wisdom you have made them all. The earth is full of your creatures.” Psalms 104:24 NLT
And this is where you come in. You have been gifted with certain abilities. And you are called to share those abilities. Because someone out there needs to hear it from you. Your style. Your way. Imagine the world as described in these opening paragraphs. Just one. Of anything. But God made a variety in order to touch lives, reach every kind of people in every time and place, in every chapter of life. And we have been created to do likewise. To contribute. To someone. You have been equipped to add something to the mix.
This is your call to action. To stop being afraid. To stop hesitating and doubting. And to put the love of God out there in your unique, and yet powered by the Holy Spirit, way. Someone is waiting to be awakened to the marvelous love of God. This is the day…
