Make Me Somebody

The highest and most ideal life is one consecrated to God and dedlicated to helping and serving man, expressed by the Psalmist in the prayer which says, "O Lord... make me." It is elevating for a person to have the noble ambition to be somebody and for his life to be useful and helpful. It is uplifting that we, too, have such consummate aims, as follows:



Make me a channel of blessing that flows into the lives of others.
Make me a vessel of salvation to those who stand in need of pardon.
Make me a light that shines in a world darkened by wrong, exploitation and sin.
Make me an ambassador of peace in a world torn by strife and war.
Make me a solider that defends the true and the right.
Make me a tree planted by the rivers of waters that produce good fruit for a morally and spiritually famished society.
Make me a healing balm for the hearts that mourn and break.
Make me an example for those who might not change, if they did have a pattern to follow.
God is ready to help. Are we ready to ask?




Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; for therein do I delight. Psalms 119:35




THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
Wisdom only comes with experience and experience only comes with time. It takes a lot of things to prove you are smart, but only one thing to prove you are ignorant.
