“I just want to be used by G-d.”
“Used for the kingdom…”
This concept used to be an effective way to communicate a concept.
But no longer.
We want to be used.
What are we really saying?
Are we saying that we want to beg G-d to treat us like an abused tool in His shop. Do we want to be used up and wear out?
It is better to wear out for Jesus than rust out.
-Maria Woodworth Etter-
Do we not believe that He regularly wants to engage with us in intact and hope that he might occasionally pull us off his pegboard to get that stubborn nail in the board?
