I Will Go by Sister Betty Richardson

Isaiah 6:8  Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.

Isaiah overheard God saying “Who will go for us?” The call of God is not for the special, it is for everyone.

Whether or not I hear God’s call depends upon the state of my ears, and what I hear depends upon the state of my heart.

Many are called, but few are chosen. That is, few prove themselves the chosen ones. The chosen ones are those who have come into a relationship with God, their ears have been unstopped, and they hear the still small voice questioning all the time.  “Who will go?”

God did not single out Isaiah, Isaiah was just in the presence of God, and he heard the call.  He said, “Here I am. Send me.”

When God called the disciples he said “Follow me.” If we let the spirit of God bring us face to face with God, we too will hear as did Isaiah did, and we will say, “He I am. Send me!”
