I listen to Z88.3 Orlando it’s a Christian radio station and I just love all the talks, music etc….
I listened to KLOVE when I lived in Ohio.
One of my favorite songs is by Casting Crowns called Nobody.
It’s basically saying what I have thought for the past few years, why me? Why was I selected and lead to take ministry classes? To be ordained when I am so flawed? We all have flaws but I wonder why God lead me to take classes the ultimately led me to become ordained.
Was it to teach me how to become better, wiser?
I’m just an ordinary person spreading the word about Jesus. In ways of stories I create , thoughts I have . And teachings I have studied as well as my own Life experiences etc..
The mystery of why You chose me Lord has persisted throughout my life. I’ve often been told that I belong at the end of the line with the Not-Quites and the Never-Get-It-Rights and How can you be a minister you used to swear smoke, etc….
As the song goes
I’m just a nobody, sharing the story of Somebody who saved my soul. Since You rescued me, my heart now sings a song,
In moments of doubt, when the devil questions my worth, I confidently respond that I’m just a nobody proclaiming Somebody great.
The stories of Moses’ stage fright and David facing a sword with a rock remind me that outsiders like the twelve You picked can change the world. Everyone has a purpose, and when the devil questions my identity, I assert that I’m just a nobody proclaiming Somebody who saved my soul.
Thank you Lord for saving me and allowing me to spread your word
And in the spirit of the message, let’s reflect on Psalm 27:1 – “The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?”
