You Won’t Relent-Misty Edwards

I’m so excited right now my heart is beating out of my chest, it’s hard to breath. This is what I’m supposed to be doing. I know it. I know it. I know it. I’m so scared. I know this is what I was made to do. My lungs feels like they are going to collapse. I just collapsed on the ground and started weeping for the Holy Spirit came and filled my soul. I can’t contain my fire for Him. My brother’s best friend just broke me down with his blessed words. For those of you who don’t understand any of this, I’ve been called to worship. I’ve been called to lead worship. And I’ve been fighting every sign that God has given me. But I just collapsed with enthusiasm. This is what I was made to do. And there’s a spot open for me. 

An old friend of mine who I haven’t spoken to in 3 years until recently is in the process of starting a church with a few other men. They’ve created a large team, already, to plant the church and it launches the 8th of January. I’ve felt like this is where I’m supposed to be since I first heard about the church. But I was asked about a position as worship leader and almost laughed at the idea of it. I didn’t understand why God would choose a nobody like me to fill such big shoes, but then I remembered in The Magnificat

Luke 1:46-49 
“Mary said My soul magnifies the Lord, And my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior.  For He has regarded the lowly state of His maidservant;  For behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed.” 

It’s true. God comes to the lowliest of lowly and he saves the nobodies. He saves nobodies like me.  

1 Peter 4:10-11
“As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. If anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.” 

This is my testimony. This is my call to worship.
