God doesn’t want me doing anything for Him? by Adrian Rogers

God doesn’t want me doing anything for Him?

For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure. Philippians 2:13

One of the greatest secrets I have ever learned is this: God doesn’t want me to do anything for Him. He wants to do something through me. 

People say, “Well, I just serve God in my poor, little, old weak way.”  I feel like saying, “Well, quit it.  He doesn’t want you to serve Him in your poor, little, old weak way. He wants you out of the way, so He can flow through you!”

We need to make ourselves available to God saying, “I’m tired of being inhibited. I want to be inhabited by You. I want You to live Your life through me.”

Ask yourself: Where have I been standing in the way of God instead of surrendering and letting Him live through me?
