One of the 'missing gems' from the current edition of our Salvation Army songbook is 'Make Me A Blessing'.
These are the words that we concluded our worship time with this morning.
Out in the highways and byways of life, many are the weary and sad;
Carry the sunshine where darkness is rife, making the sorrowing glad.
Make me a blessing, make me a blessing;
Out of my life may Jesus shine.
Make me a blessing, O Saviour I pray.
Make me a blessing to someone today.
Tell the sweet story of Christ and His love; tell of His pow'r to forgive;
Others will trust Him if only you prove true every moment you live.
Give as 'twas given to you in your need; love as the Master loved you;
Be to the helpless a helper indeed; unto your mission be true.
I have no doubt that God calls us to live out our faith in such a way that we 'speak life and hope' into the broken lives of those who experience personal devastation, hopelessness and despair.
Will you allow God to enable you to 'be that blessing'?
Psalm 111:10 (MSG) ~ "The good life begins in the fear of God — Do that and you'll know the blessing of God. His Hallelujah lasts forever!"
