Does God "need" me?

First of all, thank-you SO MUCH, Lynnette, for featuring me as a blogger through your site! What an honor and priveledge...and so much fun meeting fellow sojourners through the blogging community! Many thanks, also, to those of you who visited my site, and I hope you will check back often. I don't necessarily blog every day (though that's my goal) but I hope to be more consistent as time goes on. So please do check back, and leave me a link back to your site, as well, please, so I can return the favor!

I was just thinking today as I have been preparing for my ladies group tomorrow (we are studying Beth Moore's "Esther")that, even though I have a Masters of Education degree, I have no real idea what I'm doing in leading the ladies in my group. Truth is, I am not really the 'leader'; I am a facilitator. We all lead one another! As I was thinking about that, it hit me again that all God really needs is my AVAILABILITY, not my ABILITY! If I make myself available to serve the Lord in whatever way(s) He calls me, HE will provide the ABILITY, even when I it seems I have no real gifting in that area. Remember when God told Moses to speak to Pharoah, and to tell him to let His people go? Moses argued that he was not eloquent enough ~ that he could not speak to Pharoah. Yet, when Moses decided to just be AVAILABLE to his Lord, it was amazing what God did. God doesn't NEED us ~ we NEED God! The precious reality, however, is that God WANTS intimacy with us, no matter our past or present...no matter what we will or won't do in the future, He loves us still and in spite of and wants to be our 'husband'! Oh, how He loves you and me! Does that make you want to look up in wonder and awe and simply say, "Holy, holy, holy, are you Lord God Almighty!" AMEN!
