Do you feel you are a backstage person. Rarely seen…….. quietly going about your journey of life. Loving God, reading His Word and passionately praying?  

            REJOICE.      In theatre and on this STAGE of LIFE it is these backstage tenacious believers who if listening to the Voice of their Saviour will have their moments when HE alone asks them to step forward.   Perhaps it will be with a kind word, a hug, a gentle caring word.

              Others may be called of God to live their lives in the SPOTLIGHT.    Some passionately desire to live there.   If called as Pastors, Leaders, Teachers God Himself will Sustain and undergird their time prominent on Life’s Stage,

               John the Baptist came out of obscurity to burst upon the stage of human life.   He lived and died but his prominent message was God Ordained and planned.  REPENT!    “Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.”

                   Then as quickly as he came, he was gone.

                     Christ the Saviour Himself had a few short years Centre Stage but because He was and IS ETERNAL the message was graphic and changed the world.  Miracles that illustrated LOVE, Mercy, Peace and Grace, proved Divinity by a supreme act of sacrificial LOVE as the Lamb and rising from death as proof of Divinity but proclaiming the promised coming of God the Holy Spirit  so all who accepted and believed could have this internal Guide to obey Christ’s final message …….Pick up your cross and “Follow Me”. 

                  Backstage is where God continues to refine, sanctify and encourage His Children.

           Unless He directs a life to take up a centre stage position for a time or a season, all the richness of this Christ- life is lived backstage.

        REJOICE AND KNOW GRATITUDE FOR WHO YOU ARE AND WHO YOU ARE BECOMING. 

Love and Blessings in this day.
