When God Shows Up
"...one thing I do know, that though I was blind, now I see."
John 9:25b NASB
As children of the risen God and as His appointed servants we can preach His Word; we can share the gospel; we can testify of all the incredible things He's done in our lives. But what we can't do is change hearts. We can be obedient to what He's called us to, but the changing of hearts is solely and completely up to God.
God doesn't need us to accomplish what He will; but He gives us the privilege and the pleasure of participating in His work. He has called us to serve Him in this life; to be His hands and feet and heart to those around us. But the changing of lives is 100% His doing.
One thing is certain though, when He shows up, lives are changed. The wounded are healed. The blind are given sight. The dead are raised to new life in Jesus Christ.... Part of our reward is having a front row seat from which to witness what only He can accomplish.
What a precious gift it is to serve alongside Him!
