I stand in awe

What is greater then to see the body of Christ at work? Work in setting His kingdom here on earth and here in our hearts.
I am working in the shelter for over 5 months now and I am incredibly grateful to the Lord for sending me here, for the Lord is good. Good and faithful in using us for His kingdom. When I look around and see so many different people from different backgrounds and different everything working together to build up the kingdom of the almighty Lord I stand in awe of how He chooses to use every single one that volunteers to do His work... How amazing His love that He chooses to live in us and give us so many chances... How powerful His works and His love and His blood that sets us free. I can't do anything apart from Him for it is He who gives us life and is living in us which is the only way for us to do anything and especially the things happening here. They are to big for any of our ability's so they can be no others then His.
I see people serving one another I see people talking and explaining things to one another so that the Lords word still lives in us and to reveal what in means. I see people spending so much time here just to have the opportunity to be there for others.
And I see people getting interested and curios and people seeing the truth that God does love them and did send His only Son to this world for them. I see people' views of Christianity change. And seeds planted. I see people growing stronger in faith and stronger in becoming weaker.
And I see the desire to become less so for Him to become more. I see people getting up doing things for the Lord in simple obedience.... I see the love of the Lord working in people. And using people to show that Love to others. And all I can say is I am truly blessed. Blessed by seeing this and blessed in being a part in this. I stand in awe of You.

Lord I stand in awe of You and what You are doing here. Lord I pray this work continues and that You continue to use us. Lord I thank You for bringing me here so that I can really see the body of Christ work and be a part in this. Lord I thank You for showing me Your love and revealing Your self to me and Your will time and time again even though sometimes it is hard to find. Lord I pray reveal Yourself to us more and more and not just to us but to all who hunger and thirst for You. Lord I pray fill me up and more that I can overflow to others even the more. I pray that You will become more and I become less that You can really do Your work in me. Lord You are amazing and You are faithful and You are good and worthy so worthy to be praised. And I want to praise and worship You for as long as I shall live. Thank You Lord again for all You have done for me and thank You again for Your Son who choose to follow You and be obedient and die for me. Because You love me. Thank You Lord for raising Him up from death that death no longer has a hold of me either nor sin. And I pray that You will take away all sin not just forgive them though I pray that too, but to take them out of my life forever so they no longer have a part in me. Lord thank You for Your word that says we are forgiven and that we are loved by You and that You are there with us for as long as we shall live. Thank You for the promises You made. And the word You gave so we can understand and study and get to know You more. Lord thank You.
Amen
