>Good morning ladies. My heart is broken this morning. > I have shed many tears in the last twelve hours. As >I came this morning to the table to sit and talk with >MY SAVIOR...I was very tenderly taken by the hand. Do >you know those moments in your life's experience when >you want NOTHING as much as you want MORE of HIM? >That last two days were more like that for me than >anything I had ever experienced. >Then this morning I came and I sat and the LORD JESUS >beckoned me to the shore in Galilee where he had >breakfast with HIS disciples after HIS resurrection. >(John 21:15-18) I stood there on the shore with HIM >and listened again as HE re-commissioned and >reenlisted Peter for what was to come. My heart was >drawn back to Mark 16 when the angel sitting in the >tomb waiting for the women to come told them, "Go tell >HIS disciples AND PETER, HE is going ahead of you to >Galilee; there you will see HIM, just as HE told you." >That verse speaks volumes to my heart this morning. I >am going to try to share with you what I experienced >this morning with HIM. >In a sense, this verse in Mark 16 says..."Go tell HIS >disciples AND DON'T FORGET TO TELL PETER..." >Go tell Pete to get his bat....He gets to hit again. >I heard the FATHER say this morning, "Vick, YES, you >blew it. You blew it big, but you can bat again." My >heart sat this morning and I said, "BUT LORD, I don't >feel worthy to bat again." >Ladies, look hard at that statement because that WAS >THE POINT IN MY HUGE FAILURE. HE said to my heart >this morning, "Vicky, you WEREN'T WORTHY TO BAT BEFORE >YOU BLEW IT....IT'S NOT ABOUT YOUR WORTHINESS...IT IS >ALL ABOUT MY GRACIOUSNESS." >How could I even think it was about whether I was good >enough to bat...that was the POINT OF CALVARY...I >could never do it on my own. >So ladies, this morning I will pick up the bat again, >I will turn around and look into HIS FACE and say, >"FATHER, I am unworthy to hold this bat in my hands, >but THANK YOU FOR JESUS WHO PAID THE PRICE SO THAT I >CAN." > >LORD JESUS, THANK YOU FOR DYING FOR ME. THANK YOU FOR >ALLOWING ME TO SEE INSIDE OF MY HEART TO THINGS THAT >NEED TO BE REMOVED. FATHER, THANK YOU THAT YOU >FORGIVE ME WHEN I SIN. THANK YOU THAT YOU WILL ALWAYS >FORGIVE ME WHEN I COME AND ASK FOR IT. THANK YOU THAT >WHILE I AM UNWORTHY OF YOUR LOVE AND GRACE AND >MERCY...YOU CONTINUE TO POUR YOURSELF INTO MY LIFE. I >SURE DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT KIND OF LOVE. THANK YOU >FOR USING MY CHILDREN TO TEACH ME HARD LESSONS. O >FATHER, I NEED YOU TODAY LIKE I NEEDED YOU YESTERDAY >AND WILL NEED YOU TOMORROW...FATHER, HOLD ME CLOSE AND >HELP ME WALK WHERE YOU LEAD. > >Ladies, this morning I will tell you that I sit here >broken, but broken vessels can be restored. I am >unworthy of HIS call in my life and yet HE has chosen >to call me. This is grace that I simply cannot >understand. HE reminded me this morning that failing >does make me a failure....I am a failure when I choose >not to pick up the bat again. I leave you this >morning with a quote from Oswald Chambers: >Our ordinary abilities will never worship GOD unless >they are transformed by the indwelling SON of GOD. We >MUST make sure that our human flesh is kept in perfect >submission to HIM, allowing HIM to work through it >moment by moment. Are we living at such a level of >human dependence upon JESUS CHRIST that HIS life is >being exhibited moment by moment in us? > >If you find yourself this morning in a place where >perhaps you have stepped out of moment by moment >submission will you hear HIS voice to you this >morning: You can bat again...IT WAS NEVER ABOUT YOUR >ABILITY OR YOUR WORTHINESS..."IT WAS ALWAYS ABOUT WHAT >I DID FOR YOU AND WILL DO IN AND THROUGH YOU IF YOU >WILL SUBMIT YOUR HEART TO ME! " > >Thanks for coming today. > >Because with all of my heart I want to be HIS and ONLY >HIS- >Vicky
