Make Me an Instrument.

"God, make me an instrument. Amen."

People always ask, “Why doesn’t miracle always happen? Why doesn’t God make it happen often?”
I asked the same question too sometimes and I always forgot about the prayer above. I do say it often, but I didn’t really get into it deep enough.
“..make me an instrument.”

As I go deeper into it, I realized, by saying this prayer, it means that I want to get involve. In what? In making miracle happen myself. God want us to get involve, in miracle.
Who knows, we can be a miracle for someone. So this is what it really means. To get involve. To be part of it. To be like Him. God-like. To surrender.

But doesn’t it sounds like,
“give me more problem to solve?”
Well, it does! But that’s the point! Don’t get it? For me, it’s the kind of bold and aggressive approach to life’s challenges that will positively endear me to God. It’s not easy of course, but I remember the promises He gave from the early beginning.

I don’t know how to say this but I think ‘being an instrument’ is like exercising. You’ll become stronger, healthier. By making me an instrument, He is ‘sharpening’ me and so now I have no doubt in saying this, 

"God, make me an instrument. Amen."

..use me in any way You desire, Lord.
