I often say I cannot cook. Give me all the ingredients and somehow it still does not turn out exactly as it should. Seriously, so not kidding!
I say also, I cannot sing! Oh how I wish that I could be in the choir or do a beautiful solo…to the Lover of my soul. Now dancing…only, I mean only if I’m certain that no one is watching me. Then yes, I can dance.
Sometimes I consider sewing and knitting and crocheting… So not my gift. But it could be if I fully committed to learn… I’m pretty sure of that.
Hugging? I’m really great at that…lots of practice. And encouraging…only because of God’s Holy Spirit that dwells in me. And HE uses me continually and mightily… Wow, am I so very humbled.
But... I started this prose to say those are some things I’d like to do, only because I see others do them. But what I can do? Put a pen in my hand and I can write some poetry…some beautiful prose and profound haikus. I absolutely love writing poetry. He pours out of me with every word, every syllable and every stanza.
Lastly, I can pray. He personally invited me to be an intercessor. So I pray. And I can only pray because of who He is, what He has done and what He has promised. With a heart to obey and the self-discipline that He gives, I can pray for the nations. A single prayer or ongoing lamenting…HE hears them all.
Oh, and the best “my can dos” …. I can boldly proclaim the gospel … the real unchanging, life sustaining truth. We are all sinners in need of a Savior! And there’s only One!
Jesus said to him, “I am the [only] Way [to God] and the [real] Truth and the [real] Life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.” John 14:6 AMP
