He USED Me!

Continuing my escape from selfishness….

I was talking to my Dad’s girlfriend about the Jewish people a couple months ago. I told her that after Jesus, the Jews were on pretty much level playing ground with everyone else. She retorted with “Oh, so then God just used them!”. My first reflex was to say no, of course not! After thinking about it though, I realized yes, He DID use them…and what in the world is wrong with that! We automatically junction negative feelings with the word used: why? Because when we’re being “used”, it’s not all about us anymore; it’s about the purpose we’re being used to serve! And duh, there’s obviously no ounce of positivity in something that doesn’t benefit ourselves!

Yes, my friends…just a hint of sarcasm in that last sentence. :)

I love you all!
