God's will and glory

Today, we had an amazing chapel service here at school. Dennis Jernigan came and led worship, then later he spoke to us about his ministry and what he does. What impressed me was not just his testimony, which is an amazing story of God's grace, but the way that he ministers now. He has been gifted with an amazing musical ability, but he does not use it for his own gain or glory. He uses it to let God reveal His glory. He has had many opportunities to advance his own career, especially in the Christian music world, but has turned down many contracts with publishing companies because they would not give him the release he needed to do all God called him to. Oh that I could feel so sure of my own calling. I was able to relate to so many parts of his story, the parts about him not knowing where God was leading him next, or what he was supposed to do with his gift. I know that I have been gifted musically as well, and that music is a powerful tool for God's kingdom. I want to impact the world for His kingdom, but don't know how He would have me to do it. My prayer is that I can become so in tune to God's will for my life that He can speak through me, in music as well as words, as easily as He does through Dennis Jernigan.
