God uses people.... Even Me


Wednesday, July 25, 2012
God uses people….even me.
I haven’t been able to get a job due to my background. I’ve been trying for 2 months solid. I had a job but my friend’s daughter died so I went to be with her, I lost my job, came back and shortly after another dear friend lost her daughter.
So a friend of mine asked me to volunteer at her job with United Way. I said sure, I have nothing else to do. I would love to. Little did I know, God was already working. I was so excited about the fact I would be getting out of the house to help others. I just wanted to help others and love people. I started a special mission last week and found 4 people I didn’t know and asked them to be my friend on facebook. I told them I wanted to build a relationship, and we could pray for each other.
Our church stated our summer revival these last three weeks. Tonight was the last night. The speaker was talking about how God called us to help and to love others. God touched my heart and I thought I wanted to go on a mission trip right then as he was preaching. The Preacher kept saying that if we get revival in our hearts we can change Decatur, Alabama. And then it hit me. It was like God was sitting right in front of me. No, I could not see Him. But, I could feel His presence. He said, “Tracy I am getting ready to use you. I don’t want you to work. I want you to be available  to me. The volunteering with United Way is big. I am getting ready to use you to love on people and I am going to work through you to reach people in Decatur.”  The tears started flowing. When the invitation was given I surrendered my all to Him.  I said, “Father, here I am, use me. I surrender my all to you.”

You are My All in All

Book of John - I Am the True Vine (15:1-11) ESV



John 15 (ESV)


 1 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser.  2 Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. 3 Already you are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you.  4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me.  5 I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.  6 If anyone does not abide in me he is thrown away like a branch and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned.  7 If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.  8 By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples.  9 As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love.  10 If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his love.  11 These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.  12 “This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. 13 Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.  14 You are my friends if you do what I command you.  15 No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you.  16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you.  17 These things I command you, so that you will love one another.  18 “If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you.  19 If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.  20 Remember the word that I said to you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will also keep yours.  21 But all these things they will do to you on account of my name, because they do not know him who sent me.  22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have been guilty of sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin. 23 Whoever hates me hates my Father also.  24 If I had not done among them the works that no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin, but now they have seen and hated both me and my Father.  25 But the word that is written in their Law must be fulfilled: ‘They hated me without a cause.’  26 “But when the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will bear witness about me.  27 And you also will bear witness, because you have been with me from the beginning

Romans 8:38-39
New Living Translation (NLT)
38 And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[a] neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. 39 No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.


Psalms 56 :3~4
3 But when I am afraid,
I will put my trust in you.
4 I praise God for what he has promised.
I trust in God, so why should I be afraid?
What can mere mortals do to me?




Isaiah 43 :19 NLT

For I am about to do something new.
See, I have already begun! Do you not see it?
I will make a pathway through the wilderness.
I will create rivers in the dry wasteland.
