As if God hadn’t made his call on my life clear enough already this semester, this video played during one of my chapels last week & broke my heart all over again. I want to start my work in the mission field right now so badly. I’ll be going to Honduras on March 5th and absolutely cant wait!!! Again I have a feeling I wont want to come home though. Sometimes it really sickens me how much I close my eyes to whats going on in the world around me and just want to shut out some things that make me feel bad but its all real and they cant keep being ignored. Isaiah 6:8 says, Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I. Send me!”. This verse is showing up everywhere I turn it seems like. I’ve been searching for my “life verse” for a while now and I’m not sure if I would consider this to be it yet but I know it’s one that will always be really close to my heart. All I have left to say about this is that your area might not be missions and it’s true that as Americans we have our work set out for us right here in the states. For me that’s not particularly where my heart is but If every person would do one small thing to change someone else’s life I feel like all our problems would be solved. Even if you cant think of how to start, one of the biggest things you can do is be praying for the world we live in. For those of us claiming to be Christians we have to remember that Loving others is the most crucial tool we can have. I’m talking about loving the unlovable, not just those that love you back. I mean the people you consider your enemies or the ones who no one else wants anything to do with. These are the people that will reveal God’s love and power, because it’s small acts like this that will intrigue the world because they’ll know that your love or forgiveness in others doesnt come from your own strength but from God’s!
