Here am I, send me

Can we say to the LORD-  Here am I,  send me?

Isa 6:5  Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts.

Isa 6:6  Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar:

Isa 6:7  And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged.

Isa 6:8  Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.

We are unclean. And the only way we can be cleaned is by the LORD. We can't clean ourselves. We need to trust in our Savior to save us.

We need our INIQUITY taken from us, our SINS purged.

When we believe that our Savior will do this for us we will want Him to use us for HIS will.

This must be our desire, to be used for God.

Here am I, send me.

I know I'm not worthy, I will never be worthy. Christ in me is worthy.  Christ who can purge my sins from me, Christ who can take away my iniquity.

All praise, glory and honor unto my Savior!  He and He alone saves me!

Whatever it is God can use us for, we need to be willing to be used.  Do we always know what God wants to use us for? No. At least I don't. I do know He wants me to LOVE Him and Others.  This is most important. Letting God live in us so we can love others as He loves them. 

We can't love others like WE think love is…  loving those who love us, loving those who are good to us, loving those who want us to love them, loving those who we think deserve our love, loving those we are attracted to, loving those we can benefit from , loving those who are what we consider to be good people.  We are to LOVE ALL and that means ALL.  We don't need them to love us back, that isn't love. Loving others to be loved in a way other than God would have us love others isn't what it's all about.  It's GOD'S love we love with! We can't forget this very important fact.  This is HOW people can CHOOSE to love what we call the unlovable.  And by unlovable we mean those who have done things we find deplorable, hateful, despicable, disgusting, outrageous , you name it… the worst of the worst human beings we call them unlovable.  And often people find themselves unlovable because their own flesh nature has led them to commit awful sins, or to just succumb to the despair of life not giving them the pretty face, the gorgeous body, the greatest job, money, friends, and so many of the things we consider loving traits, successful traits. When we battle with health issues, and our shortcomings are  all so apparent we turn to self-loathing, self-despair.  Hating others, hating ourselves we this is not of GOD.  Yes, we should hate sin, but we cannot hate the sinner. We must put our trust and our faith in our God to save us from all hatred, from all sin, all through HIS LOVE!

In the name of HIS SON, JESUS CHRIST! OUR SAVIOR!

AMEN!
