I love working with a team where each member of the team challenges and sharpens the other. Fellowship’s Minister to Students, Pastor Damon, recently shared with me a devotional that challenged and sharpened me. I know it will do the same for you...
Are you a Convert-Able?
We are all God’s wonderful creation. Though we are all distinctly different, we are still made on the same assembly line of God’s two hands. God created us to be vessels, vehicles to carry His Agape love and His Glory to the ends of the earth. My question to you is: are you a Convert-Able or are you a Hard-Top? Are you the type of person that is hard and rigid and likes to keep a controlled environment that suits your preferences? Are you the type of vehicle that is not willing to let the freshness of the God given breeze blow through your space, or even at worst, allow the frightful contaminates of this world leak into your climate controlled space? Are you flexible enough to let your guard down when God is ready to change the seasons? Are you able to retract, bend, and bow under the pressure of God’s finger on your button, or are you the vehicle that states “I am solid and not weak like those ‘Convertibles’?” It has been said by Hard-Tops that Convertibles are not practical and are only preferred by folks who are either going through mid life crises or the young, wild and prideful? I beg to differ. Why not be a vehicle that is willing to submit to the various climates of God’s Spirit? Why not be a vehicle that is able to bend, retract, and bow under the pressure of God’s finger on your button. Why not be a vehicle that is able to let your guard down and allow the Wind of God’s Spirit to breath fresh life into your lungs and blow away the old stale, human controlled air that you’ve been comfortable with inside your space? Letting your guard down will allow you to see and experience even more of God’s great creation and changes due to your spiritual peripheral vision being expanded without your Hard-Top getting in the way of what God wants to show you for the day. Are you a vehicle that will submit to HIS plan of manufacturing you and your destiny? Are you willing to be brought back to the Chop-Shop, the Potter’s Wheel so to speak? Would you be willing to let God transform/ convert you into a vehicle that is able to encounter the atmospheric changes that God has in store for all of our lives? Are you willing to allow God to convert your desires into His desires? Are you a Convert-Able?
Thank you Pastor Damon for sharing this awesome devotional with us today!
Loving and Leading,
