Who and Why?

Who are you, why do you write? What gives me the audacity to think I am anybody to write daily messages about God?

The daily messages are an extension of my mornings with God, and I share in the hope that I can help lighten a day, bring insight into someone’s life, and share the word of God in a manner that’s easier to understand! I learn so much from writers who break down and explain the Bible in layman’s terms.

First, I am a nobody! I am an everyday sinner just like everyone else; however, I do not desire to sit in that chair, so I read, listen, and learn from magnificent teachers, and then I work daily upon the desire to be a better me!

Romans 10:17 NKJV “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”

Romans 12:2 ESV “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.”

Second, we, as Christ’s followers, are asked by Him to share his word and message of love!

Luke 12:12 NIV “For the Holy Spirit will teach you at that time what you should say.”

Third, and this is the best part! The Bible is full of messed up people just like you and I! He often uses the everyday walk of life to show his Grace, Favor, and Mercy because who needs it more? The regular people like you and me.

Mark 2:17 NIV “On hearing this, Jesus said to them, ‘It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous but the sinners.”

Here’s a list of sinners who were used in a mighty way by God. The ordinary, the far from perfect, the impaired, the downtrodden, the less respectable, the everyday walk of life. You and me!!!

Abraham was prone to lie when he felt the circumstances required a twist of the truth! Elijah was suicidal! Moses had a speech problem; I’ve read that possibly stuttering was his affliction, so he asked the Lord for his brother Aaron to be his spokesman! God allowed!

Gideon was afraid, Samson was a womanizer, Rehab was a prostitute, Noah was reported to enjoy the wine of his vineyards, Jacob was a cheater, and King David was an adulterer and murderer! Jonah flatly refused God and headed in the opposite direction.

Zacchaeus was a money-hungry, cheating tax collector, the chief tax collector in Jericho, to be exact! Martha was a worry wart, fretting and stewing about everything. Peter, one of the Lord’s chosen 12, denies knowing him thrice on the night Jesus was arrested!

Mark 16:15 NASV “And he said to them, ‘Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole world.”

So, here I am! No one and a daughter of The Almighty God at the same time! Just like you! 🥰
