God has called you..(For such a time like this)

Just wanna share fr Rev. Anita, SFI, May 7, '08 of christianlesbians.com and Grace Unfolding Ministry... Everyone is called by God and we spend our lives seeking to live into that calling to discover our way of being the presence of Christ in the world. The calling doesn't stop the day we come out. The voice of God isn't silenced even in the closet. God's hand is on you, God's Spirit within you. God's anointing upon you. Who you are is the very person God needs you to be in this world. You have a way of speaking and living God's love that will touch someone in a way that my life and others lives simply couldn't do. Your life reflects a particular angle of God's character and being that's the exact angle someone else needs desperately to see.These might sound sentimental words but they're also very real. Nothing in your life is unusable to God. Nothing is less than a gift when devoted to God's glory. Whatever you've done in the past,wherever the present finds you..."for such a time like this.(fr Esther's story, Book of Esther)
