Called By God

S 1 Timothy 1

1Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the command of God our Savior and of Christ Jesus our hope,

2To Timothy my true son in the faith:
Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

O I am a servant of Jesus Christ called by him and placed in this place by His discretion.
God's desire and will is to extend His grace, mercy and peace to me.

A My job is to walk, talk, think and behave like a servant of Christ. His demeanor is one of confidence in His father, so must mine be.

My job is to cooperate with the Spirit of God who called me and placed me in this assignment and be an instrument of HIS. So it is my responsibility as much as is possible for me to show His grace to others, always operate in mercy and be a peace maker.

P Oh God I cannot express my gratitude for your call upon my life. Why would you choose a vessel as weak as I? It is a mystery I cannot fathom. Help me with your supernatural strength and wisdom to fulfill the responsibilities in which you have placed me. Open my eyes to the opportunities to be an instrument of your grace and mercy in the lives of others. Help me as I follow the leading of your Spirit to actively be a peacemaker. In Jesus name, Amen.
