OCTOBER 18-John 3:7-“For His Name’s Sake, they went forth”

 CHOSEN FOR HIS NAME’S SAKE

He chooses ordinary people with an extraordinary touch.

He chooses ordinary people, who honor the Holy Spirit’s clutch.

  He chooses ordinary people, obedient and simplistic in their ways

He chooses ordinary people, content to serve Him all their days.

  He chooses ordinary people, who keep focused on their Call

He chooses ordinary people, who know He’ll break down enemy walls.

  Discouragement, problems and evil, deter those called, not a single bit

Because through ordinary people like us, for His Name’s sake eternity fits.

  Walk on as you serve in the ordinary. Walk on trusting His plans and His goals.

Ordinary service becomes extraordinary when anointed from His live coals.

  Extraordinary fetes are empowered by the God who planned it all

You are chosen for His eternal purposes, in His Name He lovingly calls.
