Willing to be Used
Posted: 20 May 2011 11:01 PM PDT “The meek shall inherit the earth, and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.” Psalm 37:11 The meek are those who are willing to be used by God. Amazed that God would save them, they are just as surprised that God could use them. They are a junior-high-school clarinet section playing with the Boston Pops. They don’t tell the maestro how to conduct; they’re just thrilled to be part of the concert. That is from Max Lucado…….Willing to be used…….being used is not good according to the secular world……many of us grew up and having people tell us, “Don’t you know Dewey, your being used!” Today on the CUP we talk about being used and friendships in Jesus Christ. God will use us in all types of situations for His Glory Alone! Enjoy the CUP today and I hope to see you sometime today in Los Lunas…….. |

Dewey,
Psa 133:1 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!
It is good for Brother in Christ that can come together and praise and worship our Lord and Savior in Jesus Christ in Freedom. I had a wonderfully time today and let us do it again soon.
Next time, let me be a blessing to you. You are always a blessing to me.
Have a Bless day,

A Christ centered friendship is such a wonderful blessing……..let us all thank the Lord for the God given relationships we have.
One thing I hear from folks that prevents them from relationships is past hurts. I have had some just this year, when you trust people and you become close them ….and then the relationship turns sour or goes backwards because the relationship was not centered in Jesus Christ. I have been prayed over many times and of late people have been praying that I will not be used. It seems when I have a relationship go south, it is because the person or person’s is trying to take me or the Ministry down the wrong road. It is God given discernment that we can have that is the best aid in these situations. God will stir our spirit when we are getting into something UnGodly. It hurts, I know .I have been hurt…..and over some I still hurt. But we must follow God’s Will in our relationships.
This is why some people avoid relationships and trust……or just lay everything out for the Lord. They do not want to get hurt.
When we turn over our life to Jesus Christ, God will use us for His Glory Alone. We will not always understand how God us using us in relationships.
I just had a man tell me, “Dewey, beware you have and are going to have people try to use you.”
But you know what, God wants me to reach out to others and PRAISE GOD, some of these folks who have gone away disappointed in me or ministry work come back for a friendship, some after 20 plus years! YES! PRAISE GOD!
Do not let past or present hurts prevent you from having a Servants heart! How do you think Jesus feels about that!
What would have happened if Jesus would have let past hurts get to Him??!!!??!!!
We must always reach out to others and pray on those relationships and continue to carry out the Great Commission and reach others for Jesus.
Just one more thing on relationships, We as people of God must not gossip, must not lie, and must have honest open relationships. We must not say one thing and then do another thing. Do not present yourself and your feelings toward another and then change who you are to that person.
