On His Stage

On His Stage

“I don’t need my name in lights, I’m famous in my father’s eyes.  Make no mistake, He knows my name.”

I am a worshiper at heart and more often than not I find myself inspired by music and song.  On this particular day I was driving to work listening to this catchy tune by one of my favorite Christian artist Francesca Battistelli.  This catchy tune has been playing all around Christian radio stations for a while, but today it inspired me to think about my current situation. 

I feel honored to have been a mentor for so many women in my life; friends, family and even brand new babies in Jesus.  But I’ve always yearned to have a spiritual mentor myself, someone who could pour out to me on a regular basis with spiritual wisdom, someone who I could go to in my desperate times of need.  I have a few friends back home that I trust and love dearly, mighty women of God who will pray for me and my needs at the drop of a hat.

But today, during my time of worship I felt the Holy Spirit say to me:

“I am your mentor.  I am the great I AM.  Embrace me with open arms. You have been called to serve in this capacity.  I use you to pour into other people’s lives. I AM YOUR mentor, who better than I?  I am the source.  I am the truth the way and the light.  I am the friend you so desperately seek.  I sit by your side as you sip your cup of tea and curl up on the couch wearing your favorite pajamas. And I always listen.” 

This moment was so personal.  I felt him right there next to me.  His voice speaking to me softly, telling me that if I keep my focus on Him, there is no need to focus on what others can do for me, but to focus on how I, can serve others and on how much God loves me.

And so the birth of this blog begins… a journey to serving others. 

God has given me many divine appointments, opportunities to be his hands and feet.  To pray for women, to comfort, lend a helping hand, to help when no one else can, to help when no one else cares, to help when they can’t help themselves. To listen, to call, to pray, to cry, to simply care, that is my calling. Extending the gift of Grace to those in need.

I don’t need my name in lights. I’m not living for applause, I’m already so adored. There’s no mistake.  He created me in his likeness and image. To be his hands and feet.  I am on His stage. I am loved. 

He knows my name…

Zephaniah 3:17 The LORD your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing.

Psalm 139:9-10  If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me. 

Genesis 1:2 The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.

Genesis 1:10 God called the dry land Earth, and the waters that were gathered together he called Seas. And God saw that it was good.
