Right now, here's Pastor Rick Warren with Part One of a message called Getting Ready to Be Used

by God.

Now God has never created anything without a purpose, and the fact that you're alive

means that he made you for his purpose, and the greatest thrill, and the greatest adventure

in life, is actually being used of God to fulfill the purpose for which you were created.

If you've ever felt the feeling of being used by God, you know that absolutely nothing

else in the universe feels like that.

The thrill of saying, this is what I was made to do.

This is what I'm wired to do, and you feel God's presence, and you feel His glory, and

you feel His smile in your life.

The neat thing about when God uses you for His purposes is that He blesses you at the

same time.

But God only uses you if you're usable.

God only uses you if you're willing to be used.
