God's Agenda

My friends and I were talking about how we want to be in God's will more than anything in the world. To submit to his will, easier said than done. We talked about what God's calling to our lifes could be and if we could obey and say ok God this is what you want and I want it too. And what if God called us to things that would be hard. Could we say ok Lord I dont know if I can do this but if you called me then you will equip me. Well it was a good talk. Encouraged us both. Well Sunday came and we headed to Jubilee service. Choir practice was good then I changed into the clothes my sweet Mother brought for me. Then headed back into the auditorium. There were men and boys all gathered around the stage and praying for God's spirit to be in the building and to speak to us through the man of God. After good prayer announcements and recognitions were made and then the service headed into song service. The presence was welcomed into the place and you could feel him move in. Then the Man of God was introduced and opened his Bible and the word was brought forth. His title was GODS AGENDA. He talked of how some feel like they are going through the fire, and that perhaps they are but its not because God is uncaring but its because he is preparing us for something Great. And he read the scripture and the parable of the fish and bread that was multiplied and given until everyone was full and still they had leftover. He said the great miracle was that yeah God gave the multiplied food to the disciples and the disciples gave it to the people. And that God is giving us something to give away as well. And then he talked of a young girl who was a case that nobody wanted. They all gave up on her. They took her to a place were the lost cases went and put her in a dungeon and into a cage. But there was nurse who believed and went to talk to the little girl. Her name was Anne. Little Anne was like an animal. One moment she would attack and the next she would ignore whoever came in. So the nurse kept coming back and she brought brownies and she would leave them by the cage and Little Anne would ignore them. The next day the nurse would come back and find the brownies gone. On and on this went. Until they finally brought Anne up out of the dungeon and she started opening up and doing very very good. So good in fact it came they said she could leave. But Anne did not want to leave. She wanted to stay and help. And she did. There was one child she helped and it was written down in history. The little girl was blind and deaf and could not talk. Her name was Helen. Anne taught her to communicate and soon Helen Keller was teaching others to learn as well. Anne went through the storm to help and Helen as well. Are we willing to abide by Gods Agenda to help others? Are we willing to turn our desires away to do His will??
