A thought by Mark Batterson, (2013-09-24) from his book, All In: You Are One Decision Away From a Totally Different Life (Kindle Locations 1373-1374). Zondervan. Kindle
Edition.
Then Mark says, “Our job is to make ourselves available
anytime, anyplace.”
“What would happen if...?” is such a great question to ask in so
many areas of life that fear is holding us back. One “What would happen if...?” question that has
monumental potential in our lives but one that so many times holds us back is
the question, “What would happen if I knew what God wanted me to do?” We hide too many times behind the fact that we don't know that
we say, “We don’t know then we don’t need to do” but God is just waiting on us. What would happen if we said, “Here am I,
God, use me.”? There is unlimited
potential in making a difference in someone’s life, in our neighborhood, in the
world, if we would just say that to God and really mean it.
Another “What would happen if?” question we ask is “What
would happen if I were more qualified?” Mark
also said, “God doesn’t call the qualified. He qualifies the called. And the
litmus test isn’t experience or expertise. It’s availability and teachability.
If you are willing to go when God gives you a green light, He will take you to
inaccessible places to do impossible things.”
Yes there will be some growing and learning and developing but it comes
after the “Here am I.”
Why don’t you start there and see what happens?
