Mother Teresa once said she was nothing more than a pencil in the hands of God. What a profound statement of faith and undying devotion. It is a statement of who is in charge, a statement on why everything is done in her life.
Can we say the same? Are we the instrument that helps to create a beautiful picture, or are we the one trying to yield the utensil to draw the picture? Are we trying to be in control?
Is it enough to say that God can use us to do His will? If we say we follow God and do not dare to do the things He has placed within us to do, then are we really allowing God to have control of our lives?
Is our ministry driven by our desires or by God? Is our discipleship truly an emptying of self to follow or our way of trying to maintain control?
Can you say you are a pencil in the hands of God? Does he have control over your life, so much so that you are willing to go up against anything to do what he places in you to do?
Dare to allow God to work through you and be ready to be impressed and shocked and awed by the picture God creates through you.
