Here I am...

 Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I. Send me!”~Isaiah 6:8

More of I learn of God the more I understand the importance of not being frivolous with my words and vows that I make to God.  Before making a commitment or answering a call I must consider the cost.  It is a weighty thing to say “ Here I am, send me.”  But here I stand today asking God to send me; to use me as He will.

I don't know the next step.  I don't know where He is asking me to go, but I hear Him calling.  I feel His urging to go deeper and take a leap of faith.  It will not be easy.  There will be pain and suffering.  I can't be what He has called me to be unless I surrender to that part too.  I can't grow unless I am pruned by His loving hand.  

There are things that I will have to move from around His alter: tv, the need for acceptance, and the desire to be perfect.  Those things were made by human hands and He only wants me to worship Him, to be drawn to Him.

I can't see the step in front of me Lord, but here I am send me.
