I’m just the vehicle

Oh yes Lord! You be the driver. I don’t know where to go. It is You that has the map. You see and know all things. You know where the passengers are. I pray you Lord. Enter into me. The vehicle You designed long ago. Test me. Use me. Try me. Start my engine. Press the accelerator. Feel the power of Your Spirit in me. Turn on my headlights, illuminate the path ahead. The Light of Christ within. You are looking for the lost. Those in the dark. They can see Your light and run to (or away, God help them). Am I a bicycle, a scooter? Grow me oh Lord. Grow me to carry. There was a day when I was broken. Unfit and unable to carry myself much less anyone else. But You had compassion and mercy. You knew my brokenness, but even greater than that, You knew me before I was broken. I was created by You. So You found me, You were looking for me. You picked me up, fixed my brokenness and showed me a glimpse of Your best design. Jesus Christ! A son! But I did not know to ride, even how to ride. To be a son? Your son? Yes!! You came along and showed me. You showed me how fearfully and wonderfully made. A habitation of The Most High!
Now I pray You, Most High God, expand me and grow me in strength and ability. Empower my engine with Holy Spirit power, multiply the seating into a bus, an airplane, a train! Doors on every side! Light streaming from every seam. Darkness fleeing in every direction. The music of choirs of angels and saints announcing Your arrival! But more than anything Lord, You drive! Take me where You go. You’ve made me for this, so let’s do it :)
That many will see and trust in You. That many will get in and live. Coming out of the dark and into the Light! Your Light. Where all things are seen and things are known. Nothing hidden. Nothing unseen except that which is not. But I am Yours. Seen and known by You. Not parked in a garage, but on the narrow road, expertly driven, heavily laden with a crowd of witness. On our way Your Way, The Way to You :)
