“Build up, build up, prepare the road!
    Remove the obstacles out of the way of my people.” (Isa. 57:14, NIV)

Get rid of the obstacles. If I can get myself out of the way, it’s a good possibility people just may see the ravishing beauty of Jesus. I pray that in the lives of my friends.

I ran into someone the other night I consider a friend and who I pray for consistently. I left the conversation uplifted yet again, but my heart was crying out, “Lord, please get me out of the way so she sees you! I don’t want any issues to be so great that she can’t see you!”

When we come face to face with the beauty of Jesus, his work can then be done. Repentance will flow. It’s his kindness that leads to repentance. If I get out of the way, there is an opportunity for people to see Jesus.

Make the road clear. Get out of the way. I can’t make it about ME.
