I was reading Luke 1 and 2 yesterday as will be my custom often during Advent and God spoke a word to me concerning His grace and sovereignty. Think about the people and their story in these chapters. What did any of them do to be chosen and used by God for His glory? An aside here...to glorify God is to be a demonstration of his character and power...Each person in these chapters was used of God to further His plan of redemption and bring glory to Himself. All they did to be a part of God's plan was love Him and make themselves available to Him!
Want to be a part of God's plans and bring glory to Him? Love Him, make yourself available to Him and when the call comes...obey Him! You don't have to work hard to become "useful." You don't have to earn a place at the party! God loves us and wants us to be a part of what He is doing in the world and by His grace He will make a way for that to happen. Love Christ and be ready to obey Him Him when He calls!
