Are you ready to be poured out as an offering?

 

Are you willing to sacrifice yourself for the work of another believer to pour out your life sacrificially for the ministry and faith of others? 

Or do you say,

"I am not willing to be poured out right now, and I don't want God to tell me how to tell me how to serve Him. 

I want to choose the place of my own sacrifice. And I want to have certain people wathching me and saying, 'Well done.'"

It is one thing to follow God's way of service 

if you are regarded as a hero, but quite another thing if the road marked out for you by God requires becoming a "door mat" under other people's feet. 

God's purpose may be to teach you to say, " I know how to be abased . . ."(Philippians 3:12). 

Are you ready to be sacrificed like that?

Are you ready to be less than a mere drop in the bucket?

- to be so totally insignificant that no one remembers you event if they think of those you served?

Are you willing to give and be poured out until you are used up and exhausted 

-not seeking to be ministered to, but to minister?

Some saints cannot do menial work while maintaining a saintly attitude, 

because they feel such service is beneath their dignity.

 

Are you ready to be less than a mere drop in the bucket?

멋있다. 이렇게 살고 싶다. 티내려고 안간힘을 쓰지 않고 그러거나 말거나 남의 시선에 개의치 않는 큰 사람이 되고 싶다.

오직 내 주님과의 관계에 더욱 애쓰고 힘쓰는 그런 신앙인으로 살아보고 싶다.

주님 제게 주님의 지혜를 허락해주세요!

주님의 임재를 느낄 수 있게 해주세요!

성령충만으로 사람을 만날 수 있게 해주세요!
