2.3 Who Was Franklin Small?

Reflecting on my life, I can absolutely see the ways God has faithfully continued to lead & shelter me. At some points I had essentially “given up” on the dreams I felt God had given me, but it’s clear God never did. He kept those dreams, and at the right time allowed them to come bubbling back up to the surface to be fulfilled. I believe the same is true for everyone if we’re honestly seeking His will and take time to reflect on the paths He’s led us on.

When I look back on my life, I can clearly see how God has been at work in my life. Through bringing me up in a family that loved the Lord, and providing me a specific calling on my life from a young age, it is evident to me that God has been apart of my life for my whole life. I see how God is going to use me to share the gospel with those worldwide. He has gifted me in a specific way and I look forward to seeing how these gifts will come to be used in the future.

To be quite frank this is a hard question to answer. I often feel that my life does not have that much fruit to it in the sense of impacting others. Regardless, I know that the Lord has moved through me in very small, yet large in terms of impact and value, to other people’s lives. I know this because of some things people have told me about something I did or said that was a big moment for them. I also know this because the word of the Lord and God-breathed obedience does not come back void. So even if it seems that something I’ve done was useless, we cannot measure the ways God works in our lives. This could be because it has some heavenly unmeasurable value, or perhaps a less “heavenly” value, yet still one that we just won’t know that it happened.

We serve such an amazing God, he is the author and finisher of our faith, God works in mysterious ways. I’m so grateful to be a child of the most High. What God has started in our lives, only he can finish. We all have to stay humble and give him a chance to use us how he sees fit.
