Waiting On You

Isaiah 55:5
“You will call for nations that you don't yet know. And these nations that do not know you will run to you because of the Lord your God, because of the Holy One of Israel who honors you.”

• Do you know how many lives your one single life can change? It reminds me of that one time that Bishop came to preach at San Jose and he used the example of an apple seed. One seed that is planted in the ground doesn’t just contain one apple but it contains an apple tree with several apples. One life can impact many other lives. I would’ve never imagined my life being able to change, help, and challenge other people; but I believe God had everything mapped out and it wasn’t the way I wanted it to be Isaiah 55:8 Sometimes I play around and say “I’m to old” but I’m barely starting to walk in life. I’ve been blessed with the opportunity to impact many lives, right now and I cant wait for the many more that are ahead.
• I’ll always remember a word that Dedra gave me which connects this verse to my life, “1,000’s will get to know Christ because of your obedience.” It’s amazing because I know she said more, but this is the only thing that stuck even up till now. Sometimes when I have doubts, fears, or questions about what I’m doing in ministry I always revert to those words. There are 1,000’s of people out there that I may not know but because of my obedience to God they also will have a chance to experience him.
• Lord show me the faces of the families of those individuals and remind me that my life is not my own. I live for you and I live for those that have yet to accepted you as their lord and savior.
