I played my best for Him

I didn’t plan on writing this tonight, it’s late and I cleaned up the mess I had made on the kitchen table and I was getting ready for bed.  It is Christmas time and my favorite Christmas Carol, one that fits my life, is “The Little Drummer Boy”.  When I finished writing, Set Free From Darkness, in 2008 I sat down and cried.  Tears not of sorrow or fear but tears of, “This is all I got Daddy, this is what I bring to the table. I did the best I could.”

 Or, in the song’s words,

“I am a poor boy too

I have no gift to bring

That's fit to give our King

Shall I play for you

I played my drum for Him

I played my best for Him”

I sat at the table tonight addressing envelopes, hoping the enclosed material will help promote my blog.  I could not help but think I will continue to do whatever it takes to make Him famous.  I will die trying if that is necessary.  I’ve got nothing else to give Him but me and my story.  I can relate to what the Bible records in John 6:66-69:

“From this time many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed him. ‘You do not want to leave too, do you?’ Jesus asked the Twelve.  Simon Peter answered him, ‘Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. We have come to believe and to know that you are the Holy One of God.’”

 

It is that simple for me.  I did my very best to record the events of my testimony of coming to the Lord in Set Free From Darkness.  I have one agenda in life and it is to help others find the love, acceptance, forgiveness, peace of mind and contentment that I have found in a personal relationship with Jesus. I get Simon Peter when he asks, “Lord, to whom shall we go?”  There is no other but You.

I will continue to blog and promote the site and offer my book to anyone who would read it.  I played my best for Him and I can only hope and pray for the following:

“Then He smiled at me”
