"How we travel in darkness and the work we do in all seriousness counts for naught, and the thing we toss off in play-time, unconsciously, God uses!"
David Grayson/Ray Stannard Baker
Adventures In Contentment
Grosset and Dunlap Publishers 1907
p. 61
The preacher thought himself a failure; but had the young boy in the front pew known the preacher thought so, he'd have convinced him otherwise.
Sometimes I wonder if God will ever use me. Other times, I'm convinced that He does; I just don't know how or when. And that's as it should be. For I wonder how long it would take before I'd take credit for what God has done. More than God not sharing His glory with another, I believe ministry wrapped in pride loses its effectiveness.
God use what you will -- my work, my play; my smile, my tears; my voice, my silence; my blessings, my trials . . . I'll be me. You be You!
EverGrowing,
Lonnie
