As we hear in the praise and worship music, "Great is Thy Faithfulness." Comes a call to be so much more for the Kingdom of God that lies inside of all of us, as Born-Again believers.

It is a call that challenges men and women to be Great in the service of the Lord. God is so faithful to us, and no matter how we may blow it from time to time, and sin. We have faith in God to not only forgive us, but to remain always faithful, as His nature and character reveal Him be.

As we show our humility in service to God, by being totally dependent on Him for everything. He calls us to be great on earth. The Apostle Paul understood this greatness to be, "all things to all people." As we look to God to give us the strength and courage to shine in a world of fear, doubt, drugs, food and sexual addiction. We as harvesters of planted seeds, or planters of seeds for a later harvest. We have to be a shining light and example to men and women, and meet them where they are at to win them to the Lord.

Jesus never lowered Himself to our levels of sin, or faithlessness, and pride. But He loved us so much, that he met us where we were at, made us white as snow with His Blood. We became His righteousness, and He became our Lord, and Saviour.

We are to take this same example to a lost and dying world, and through our example, our witness, and our testimony. We lead others to Jesus, and we are called great in the Kingdom of Heaven, because we met others where they are at. Became a light to them. Told them of the love of Jesus, and they came to believe by the pulling of the Holy Spirit.

This is why we are to be great. We want to be God-inside-minded. Love others in deed and in truth. And we meet others where they are at, because we are great, by seeing others through the loving eyes of Jesus.

Blessings. Rev. Duane.
