God will not look you over for medals, degrees or diplomas, but for scars! -Hubbard
Romans12:1-2, I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Scarred feet from sharing the Gospel. Scarred hands from working in the harvest fields. Scarred feelings from being let down, deceived, and lied to. If you have been serving the Lord for any amount of time, these things are inevitable. Folks are going to use you up and walk all over top of you. They think you owe them something. They think they have all of the answers. They think they impress God in their lip service.
Friend, if you’re not going to do something for the Lord, get out of the way and let those that are do it! Working for the Lord isn’t for the faint of heart. You’re going to get hurt and scarred as you serve. But continue working for the Lord anyway!
