Let God Use It

When I was 16 years old, a missionary from Eurasia who worked to rescue and restore women and child out of the Red Light District. She came and spoke to the collage-young adult group. My sister knew that I was interested in working with women and children in the same context, so I came.

My life was changed that night but I wouldn't realize the affects for years to come. The speaker shared she story of coming into this work and journey of faith God. As I sat there listening, what struck me was her simple encouragement of "do what you love and let God use it". That was it. Don't complicate it. Don't disqualify yourself because of lack of education or experience. Don't diminish what God can do with your "yes".

I look back at where I started when I felt the desire to help some how. I began doing DIY art projects and making headbands out recycled t-shirts and reading books on human trafficking.

"Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin" -Zechariah 4:10

So what ever "It" is for you, give that to God and let Him use it. Remain faithful and He is always faithful to us to complete what He started.
