I remember…
 
Most often when we first hear God's call… with that quite still voice, and we first realize He wants us to serve Him our response very often is, "Do You know who You are talking to? I mean, really Jesus, You must not know or there is just no way You'd be talking to me!" You must have dialed the wrong number! But He tells us that it is us who do not understand. If we really understood who He really is, and how He does things, we wouldn't even begin to question why. When He calls it can seem very odd to us. After all, why would God be talking to me? Why would He want to use such a fractured, broken down person like me! But He calls… He sees us going about our business, going back to the same earthly well to fill our needs each day, trying desperately to feel whole, and when He offers that living water, when He offers Himself to us we're amazed because we'd never imagined anything could fill us so that the pull of the world seems to fade. We try to make our lives "better," more complete by our own strength, but this emptiness we feel, this emptiness we try to distract ourselves from, this God sized hole, can only be filled by God. When He offers us His living water, we must drink and like thirsty dying people in the desert we must tell others where that thirst quenching, life saving, living water is!
 
You see, He believes in you…
