A Chosen Servant of Christ

Note: Here at "Just the Boldfaced Print," I am careful to record as purely as I'm able only the Holy Spirit directed guidance the Lord provides to me. I seek not to muddy the waters with my own thoughts and feelings; but to be a vessel for His words. In this way, because of the Holy Spirit's unique and powerful ability to speak to many hearts at once with living and active words that become custom tailored to each need, most entries recorded here are for every believer. The following entry, however, is addressed to those who have made it their life's work to accept God's anointing as writers. A Christian scribe is one who opens his or her heart to the Holy Spirit's guidance, and labors to put the Lord's thoughts into words for the edification of this generation. This entry is addressed to the Lord's scribes, but with very little editing can also apply to every member of Christ's body by replacing the word "scribe" with whatever unique anointing God has given you. "All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he gives them to each one, just as he determines" (1 Corinthians 12:11).

For every age scribes are chosen who will reveal the portion of God's word most needed for the people of that generation. You are a chosen scribe. Do not either overestimate or underestimate your own value to those who will receive your words; the Lord's words through you.

Always remember that you are of inestimable worth to God, apart from any work you may perform on His behalf.

Scripture: "And he said to them, 'Therefore every scribe who has been trained for the kingdom of heaven is like a master of a house, who brings out of his treasure what is new and what is old.'" (Matthew 13:52, ESV).

"Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you" (Romans 12:3).
