Last night we had our missionaries for The Shepherds Household in class. Brother Strickland had some great things to say that we can all apply to our lives. One of the things he said was, God has a purpose for you and that we are all important. Brother Strickland used his own life as an example of how he didn't like getting in front of people, but God opened doors for him and now he is over a boys home! The reason why God opened the doors for him is because he was a willing vessel to be used by God in whatever way it took. I challenge all of us to do the same, and tell God whatever He has in store for our lives we will follow, we just have to be willing.
Another thing we learned from The Shepherds Household is how we need to put more faith in God. They are totally faith based and Brother Strickland had lots of examples of how they prayed and God answered it, like the verses say below all we have to do is ask God and he will do it. We need to learn how to put our self to the side and let God do everything!
Joh 14:13-14 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
Joh 15:16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
