Are You Ready? 2018 is almost here…

This past summer our Pastor told us to ask ourselves, “Who is God sending me to?

So, take a moment and let that question soak in…

God uses us to impact, touch, and inspire the lives of others. But, are you ready? Are you in a position to be used by God? He will use anyone, as long as we are willing.

Mother Teresa once said, “In this life we cannot do great things. We can only do small things with great love.

Do you have a relationship with God? Can you hear His still small voice? I encourage you to spend time reading the Bible to know Him. Pray daily and get direction. “Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.” Proverbs 3:6 NLT

Watch and see who God leads you to in 2018. You will be blessed by it.

The final thought I leave you is a quote by John Greenleaf Whittier (Poet):

The joy that you give to others is the joy that comes back to you.

My prayer for you in 2018, “May the LORD bless you and protect you. May the LORD smile on you and be gracious to you. May the LORD show you his favor and give you his peace.” Numbers 6:24-26 NLT

Happy New Year! Thank you for your time. Be Blessed… LR Maddox

  2. My prayer is that God will use me when I don’t even know it! I hope that my words and a smile to someone in passing might just be God bringing joy to that person’s heart. I am also grateful when I am conscious that some action on my part might be God working through me. Your words are a reminder that I should be more determined to be used by God with intention and not so much by accident!
