I Give Myself Away

I Give Myself Away
"I Give Myself Away" was the theme of today's presentation on India at the First Pentecostal Church in Amite, Louisiana.  All God wants is availability not ability.  We are never too old or too young to be used of God.  We are never under-talented or over-talented to be used of God.  The pastor of the church, Rev. Paul Dickson, is a long-time friend and a personal inspiration to me.  God called him to preach at age 48....the same age God called me to missions in India.

I started the presentation by telling the church a little about myself and how the trip to India came about.  After giving a few facts about India, I told the personal stories of four people I met while in India and how God was using them right now for His Kingdom.  Some of them faced impossible situations with nothing to offer God, not even their lives due to HIV/AIDS, but they offered themselves to God who raised them up and today, they are being mightily used by Him.  Their stories, along with many others, can be found in earlier posts on this blog: Ajinbou Orissa Nanny Siama

I ended the presentation with a slide show and song entitled, "I Give Myself Away."  You could definitely feel the presence of God in the room.  Only the Lord knows the hearts that were touched and the lives impacted from today's presentation.
