Isaiah 6:8 Send Me!

As I was reading in the word for today devotional, the key verse yesterday was Isaiah 6:8 "Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: Whom shall I send, And who will go for Us? Then I said Here am I! Send me."  In this verse, Isaiah answered the call of God to go and tell the people and this really spoke to me as that is what I feel the call on my life is too.  One sentence that stuck to me like glue from this devotional was "God has only one reason for filling you with His Spirit, that's to pour you out in service to others."  God doesn't instruct us to just get filled with His Spirit and keep it all to ourselves.  He commands us to spread the gospel and to share what we learn and experience with others.  One thing I have learned over the last couple of years of growing with the Lord is that when something impacts me, changes me, blesses me, I want to share it and spread it so that others may be impacted, changed and blessed too!  It's like I get a fire inside of me, burning rapidly to be spread to others, if only they could catch a small spark that would start the flame burning inside of them!  That is part of the reason I want to share this blog with so many others...God is so amazing and has a purpose for each and everyone of us and if we seek Him, He will lead and guide you to fulfill the purpose He has empowered you for!  He will change you and make you into a new creation: "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new." 2 Corinthians 5:17!  All it takes is you believing in your heart that Jesus Christ died for YOU, to save you from your sins and that He was raised from the dead and is alive today in Heaven!  According to Romans 10:9-10 "that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." We are ALL born into sin and given the choice to believe in Jesus or not but until we confess with our heart and our mouth that Jesus Christ is the Lord of our life, we will not experience the love and blessings God longs to give us.  Jesus died so that we could have a personal relationship with the Father, not a religion and it is so important that we take advantage of that relationship.  So if you haven't experienced that personal relationship with Jesus, I highly encourage you to start today!  It has changed my life (I am a new person created in His image) and you can be too!  And trust me, He has a purpose for you too and just maybe it will be to say "Send Me" too!
