I read this in a book recently, and I thought, "AMEN!". Not that I am particularly fat, but don't we all want to think that God wants us! Seriously, God really is looking for FAT people; how do I know? Glad you asked...
F aithful
A vailable
T eachable
Faithful - on time, meeting deadlines, giving more than expected, etc.
Available - open to new things, willing to get out of your 'comfort zone', ready to go, etc.
Teachable - willing to ask for help, being a lifelong learner, etc.
READ: Matthew 28: 19-20
In this well-known Bible passage, Jesus is giving some last instructions to His disciples, His followers. They are to GO and TELL - get out into the world and let everyone who breathes know about Him. Then they are to TEACH - tell these people all they need to know about Jesus so they can go and tell others. Jesus was telling His followers that they are to be faithful - when Jesus says go, they will go. Jesus also wanted them to be available - talk to those you might not normally talk to, go where you might not normally go, etc. And then Jesus said to be teachable - they had to be! In order to be able to teach others, they needed to be taught and willing to be taught!
- How faithful are you?
- How available are you?
- How teachable are you?
You see, we don't have to do anything particularly special in order to be FAT - we just have to be willing and able.
How are you doing with this?
PRAYER
God, help us to be faithful and available and teachable - to be FAT people, doing your work in this world.
Amen.
