I do not have a Seminary degree or a Bible college degree. I am not married. In fact, I am divorced. I am also a sinner saved by God’s grace. I do not claim to be one who never sinned. And like other Christians, each day I struggle to be more like our precious Jesus. He is my heart, my life, my all, and I love diving into the Word like a fish diving into fresh spring waters. I don’t write, teach or speak from the head; I write, teach and speak from the heart in obedience to my Lord and Savior. And as I love Him so much, I can only do those things from the heart. Why am I telling you this? Because I am truly humbled that Christ uses me. Had I been there 2000 years ago at the time of His ministry, I would have crawled through the dirt and crowds to touch the hem of His robe. I would have accepted His tender smile like balm to an open wound. I would have washed His feet with my tears and anointed His head with perfume (even if I had to work at 3 hospitals to get the money to purchase a perfume which would still be nowhere near worthy to anoint His precious head). Why do I tell you this? So you can get some idea of how much I love Him. So you’ll know that I’m not special in the eyes of the world, but I am special in His eyes. After all, He died for me. And He died for you. That means you’re special, too! So go find ways to wash His feet!
