The Greatest Rewards Require Sacrifice

This morning at Dublin Baptist Church, Jim Bollman, the Offensive Coordinator for THE Ohio State Buckeyes along with a couple of players came and spoke. They shared their testimonies of how they came to Christ and are now being used on the football team. Something that Coach Bollman said has stuck with me all morning is that the greatest rewards often require the greatest sacrifices. Often, we want to see God move and do wonderful things in and through our lives, but the real question is are you ready and willing for God to move in and through you? You have often heard it said that God is not interested in your ability, but your availability. Another question to ask is whether or not you and I are usable. We all want to be used, but are we usable. What does it mean to be usable? It means to be fully surrendered and let go of all the junk in your life and realize that without Christ we are nothing! We are all nobodies apart from Christ. May our lives speak as living testimonies to God's grace and when you pray for God to use you, be ready...that's when God sent us from Memphis, TN to Marysville, Ohio...
