Inside Out

Therefore, since we have this ministry, just as God has shown us mercy, we do not become discouraged. . . But by open proclamation of the Truth we commend ourselves to everyone's conscience before God. But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled only to those who are perishing . . . For we do not proclaim ourselves, but JESUS CHRIST as Lord, and ourselves as your slaves for Jesus' sake. For God, who said "Let light shine out of darkness"(Genesis 1:3, Isaiah 9:2), is the One who shined in our hearts to give to give us the light of the glorious knowledge of God in the face of Christ. (2Corinthians 4:1-6)

Whatever, wherever, however God has us serving, it is so others can see the living and true God in and through us. He has equipped each one of us with certain physical abilities at birth and we have developed them over the years. In the same way, when we were born again, God instilled within us certain spiritual gifts in which to present Him to others . . . To serve the Body and the world. 

So wherever we find ourselves in this journey, whatever we might be doing, we are to allow our distinct personalities and gifts to shine forth so others may see the Jesus in you and me. Allow God to work in you from the inside out. 

Do not be a clone. Be whom God created . . . Be YOU!
