“You should write for my blog!” my mom said. But I’m not ready.
“You really should start writing again!” my husband said. But I’m not ready.
“I tell you," He replied, "if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out." Luke 19:40
That verse hits me, like, well…a rock. To me it says that if I don’t do it someone or something else will. If a rock: a dirty, grimy piece of the earth that sits under my feet is worthy to declare His praise then who am I to be unwilling? And if declaring His praise and glory is something He desires then who am I to hold back?
I’ll tell you: I’m divorced, messy, been places I should never have been, up and down on my Christian walk, jumped feet first into pit after pit, and so low I wasn’t sure even He could find me.
I am also REDEEMED. And so are you.
We are not worthy but neither is that rock! And I’ll be darned if I’m going to let a rock praise God in my place. So let’s make a deal. Let’s take a chance and get over who we are, who we’ve been, and who we might never be, and let’s just praise the One who declares us worthy. He wants to hear from us. He wants us to declare His praise. To Him. To others. No matter how unworthy we feel. So…what do you have to say?
Feel free to share...
