Today I found a letter that I saved in an old file from someone who sat under myministry years ago. Here's what it says...
"Thank you for messing up my life! I mean it's messed up that I'm getting up an hour earlier every morning to pray and read God's Word. Today, I even ran out fo time, so I'll probably have to start extending this to 2 hours. That's messed up!
It's messed up that I've found that disciplining our children causes them to crawl up in my lap a half an hour later to tell me they love me. That's messed up!
I also want to say we've already cancelled our satellite subscription...and I love ESPN. Now that's messed up!
I've also been struggling with giving in obedience to God. I came close to giving away my 1966 Mustang to the point where I talked with many people one day about it. The crazy thing was they all encouraged me to do it. That's messed up!
Finally, you have messed up my life when it comes to relationships with other. I love people now. That's messed up!"
Of I don't have the power to "mess up" anyone's life. But the application of God's word does! It 's not about he messenger but he message. What a beautiful mess God makes when we obey His message in the most practical areas of our lives.
That's what we are all about at Harvest. Don't be surprized if God starts to mess up your life too if you come ready to receive God's message.
