“But you will receive power when the
Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about
me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the
earth” (Acts 1:8, NLT).
Lord, it is a wonderful thing to
belong to you, to know you intimately, and have the opportunity to always seek
your heart. But with that amazing relationship comes a great responsibility from
which I must never shrink. Each step I take is observed. Each word I speak is
heard. Each moment of my life touches another. Things that I may do that are not
guided by you, may not only hurt others, but hurt your ability to work in their
lives. Help me to always walk very carefully, to seek your will, and always
follow your desires instead of my own. I have been bought with the greatest
price, and there is never any time in my life that I am free from that great
responsibility. Help me, Lord. I want to receive your power to walk in your will
so that each person I know sees only you, and never me. I must always remember
that it is not only in the large things that your grace is known. It is in the
little everyday moments that your grace impacts others. Today I give you all my
smaller and my greater moments. I give you my life so that you may turn my
limitations and my failures into your greatest work. Use me in the lives of
other people, Lord, and may I always be a faithful witness of your love until my
time on earth is done.
