Any old bush will do

Major Ian Thomas tells about Moses and how it took this man 40 years in the wilderness to learn that he was nothing in himself. Then one day Moses was confronted with the burning bush - likely a dry bunch of ugly little sticks - yet Moses had to take off his shoes. Why? Because he was on holy ground, and God was in the bush!

The point was God telling Moses "I don't need a pretty bush or an educated bush or an eloquent bush. Any old bush will do as long as I am in the bush. If I am going to use you, it will not be you doing something for Me, but Me doing something through you." Thomas closed the message with Gal. 2:20.

Your Imprint is Unique

Every person has a unique fingerprint and every person has a unique God designed imprint to leave on this world. (I heard my pastor (Keith Craft) comment on this in a leadership series he did.

There is an amazing system in our country today that can identify a person by their fingerprint. I have heard a policeman say that even people who try to burn off their fingerprints leave a unique sort of print from their hand.

Like the fingerprint, no other person has exactly like the same unique blend of personality, gifting, calling, and life experience. The Christ that is in us is a unique glimpse of Him that leaves a unique imprint on those we come into contact with in the world. There is a taste of the kingdom that only you or I can leave.

You and I are needed by the community around us to be the unique Christ person that we are.
