Recently, through another Christian’s sharing, the Lord has impressed me with the matter of being His captive. This song “My Master” has been in my heart these past couple of weeks, and I wanted to record it to enjoy it more and send it to others so they might also see what the Lord has shown me. 

It seems like the Lord is showing many college students and myself how much value He has given to each one of us for His church. A lot of the conversations I have had with some of these students have been centered on that idea, for us to realize the portion that we have in His Body. But even more, after that particular message I heard, I feel like there has been a furthering of this burden to me. Not only is every single member of His Body needed and has something of value, but that value must somehow be manifested. There has to be a way for each of our gifts to actually become valuable to the Body.

How can that happen? I realized that the first step is that we must become the Lord’s captive. Can I give even the small things and small decisions in my life to my Master? If not, how can the Lord ever trust me with something bigger that’s in His heart?  It’s nothing new to me that the Lord should be “my Master”, but now I’m beginning to see that if I want to have real value in the church, to become useful for the church, my life cannot be my own. 

"The more you are a captive, the more you are under Him, the more you are under His government, the more the Lord can make you valuable. An open door can be given to you and the church can be blessed by you."  - Titus Chu
