What is achieved if I allow the enemy or any discouraging voice to convince me that I am unworthy?  Does it mean that I have to stop my good works and sit on the sidelines until I once again am convinced by external or internal forces of my qualifications for the job set before me?  The Lord is the only one who can take me out of the game without my approval.  Sure I can let comments, recommendations, ridicule, spite, attacks and of course my own actions temporarily remove me from the field of honor and efficacy, but again the control of this falls in my own hands not that of another.  The largest damage I can do to myself is to distance myself from the Father, His Blessing and His guidance through my own sin.  This is the way to hamstring myself within my ministry.  I do not hate myself for sin, so I do not hate any other sinner but I sure do wish that we could live more holy lives.

I hope and pray that on just one day I will look back in review upon my actions and see that I didn’t do anything that could be found offensive to God.  I have to tell you I cannot remember such a day, but this consistent failure does not stop my perpetual attempt.  I have to assume that since Christ has chosen me that at some point the Spirit will overcome this wretched flesh.  And for that day I strive.  For that day I ask your forgiveness for this another day of humanness.  Lord Jesus, please come when the Plan of the Father wills it, but please forgive me for asking that it be soon.  I hope that all mankind would have a collective consciousness moment of revelation of the need to respect Your Sovereignty, repent of their sin and seek to glorify Your Name.  It is a Holy, Righteous and Glorious Name that should grace the lips of all created things as they cry out to You in humility and reverence.  Oh that all would come to you and accept the gift of eternity forsaking all false treasure, faith and idol.  You alone are God, You alone are Truth, You alone are deserving of my praise.  I love you God the Father, Son and Spirit.  Praise Your name King Jesus.
