The Lord's Work

Since I was little I have heard this saying:

"The Lord works in mysterious ways."

I always took it at face value. I thought, Well yeah He does miracles, like curing cancer.

But lately I have found a new way God can work mysteriously...

through ME.

I've posted things on Facebook and Twitter that I personally have found encouraging but thought I had made up and quoted myself. Yet I have noticed time and time again that other people are finding these words of encouragement more encouraging than I ever did. Sometimes these words of mine will simply be random thoughts that, to me, had no meaning but to someone else absolutely brightened their day.

"Actions speak louder than words."

Well I say that words touch lives more than actions when they come from the Lord.

Sometimes when you can't even see it the Lord is using you in some way. For me it has either been my blog, Facebook, or Twitter. It may be when you're walking on campus or in the office. 
My church is hosting a Judgment House this year called Masquerade. It's about wearing a mask; hints the title. God may even be using you in church. What an interesting thought. Someone there may be watching how YOU are acting during church to decide whether or not they want to return. 

Realizing how God has been using me and how everyday people are watching my every move, Satan is watching my every move and just waiting for me to slip up, makes me really want to dive into the Word and be open as a vessel/ambassador for Christ.

How will you make yourself open for the Lord to use you?
Are you already noticing how God has been using you to influence others?
