There is a constant struggle i have with this blog. What tone should i be taking - Serious, irreverent, insightful, or just fun? Should i make this a place of deep spirituality or light frivolity? On top of all of that, how can i be relevant to others in this, my insignificant corner of the universe?
Something in me says that it would be wonderful if i gave someone a new perspective on a subject, or gave them a great idea for a song. Maybe make this a place for deep devotional material to aid someone in their journey. Another part of me just LOVES a good laugh. Sometimes I don't care what i write, i just have to be me.
I think that is it. I have to be me, and "me" is a little bit of each of those options above (with an extra helping of goofy on the side.) I'm most comfortable being me. Why should i attempt to be someone else?
So I'm going to just be me.
God has already created a Billy Graham, a James Dobson, and a Max Lucado. He already has a Joel Lindsey and a Sue C. Smith. He already had a Martin Luther, an Adoniram Judson, and a Nate Saint.
The deeper question is, does he have me being all i can be for Him?
Isn't that the epitome of relevance in the life of the believer?
I suppose I can dwell on missed opportunities...could haves, should haves, and would haves until i am paralyzed with painful regret. I can second guess and go over in my mind how things might have been a million times over.
OR, i could realize that "me", right here, right now, is what God wants to use.
"Me", right here, right now, is all i have to give for the Kingdom of God.
"Me", right here, right now. Fully acquiescing to the Potter's expert hand, no matter how the finished vessel is to be used.
True relevance is being used by the Master, wherever and however He sees fit.
