Building the Kingdom

For a long, long time now, my all-encompassing personal goal has been to align my will with God's,
to serve Him, and to praise and glorify Him in every aspect of my life. Waking or sleeping, I ache to have my heart centered on Him and my Savior - to serve Him, to zealously spread His word and share His glorious plan of happiness for us. There are so many lost souls out there who are searching, looking and yearning for a peace that only the gospel of Christ can bring. And the Lord has let me know in many ways that I have much to contribute in the work. He knows my insecurities and my feelings of inadequacy at times when it comes to my lack of knowledge in things I still need to learn, but He also lovingly makes it clear to me that I am still of use to Him, and He has plans for me. I am constantly being prepared for His work, and I am so grateful to know that He still has need of me.
He still has need of ALL OF US.
I pray that starting today, each of us will take the time to find out what God's plan is for us, what part He will have us play in future events, and then, through daily trials and experiences, allow ourselves to be purified, sanctified, strengthened, and prepared as we strive to align our will to His, that we may move forward in the plan and help build His kingdom.
