God Wants to Use You

This week we wrapped up this series on "The God of Wonders". As I was reflecting on the last few weeks of this series, I was reminded of the incredible potential that lies within this generation of students. It is truly amazing. There is so much that they can do in their lifetimes. My biggest fear is that they just don't see it. But even if they did see it, and had a desire to use it, I don't think it would be enough to drastically impact some of the biggest issues facing our world today. It truly is going to take an amazing move of God to change the scope of issues like poverty, AIDS, persecution, slavery, etc. But that is good news for us...potentially. God is wanting to move in these issues, and the best part of it is that He would love to use us to make that impact. The question is...are we willing to be used??? Are we willing to open our arms wide, throw our hands in the air and say, "God I can't do it, but I am totally available for You to use however You would like to." That is what I challenged our students to do this week. Make themselves availble to Him to be used however He may choose. I gave them the opportunity to spend some time quietly reflecting on what God wanted them to do with this series. I encouraged them to write out what God spoke to them and to at some point share that with someone...maybe their parents. Please help me to pray for these students and encourage them to make themselves availableto Him...no matter what He wants to do with them.
