when your burden for the missions field you are in is such that you would go to the deapths of hell, so they could go to heaven, and you would die so they could live, but knowing in your heart of hearts that you will never have to, because HE already did.
This is how I feel about the missionary church that I am pianist for. I see their sincere love for God and know that God placed me there to be a light. I don't need to get frustrated or discouraged when they do not react they way I want them to to the drawing of the spirit of God. It is my job to be anointed and obey the call. It is God's job to do the soul saving. He said "If I be lifted up - I will draw all men unto me." We can't put a time limit on God. We can't force people to believe what we have been taught our whole life, we have to lead by example. We have to teach in love. We have to show that we are indeed Spirit filled and Spirit led by being true soldiers of the cross. To fight the fight of faith. To put leg work to our faith. To walk by faith and not by sight. To hold God to the promise, that HE will bring forth the harvest. If we keep planting the seed. That He will give good measure pressed down and running over, if we keep casting our bread upon the waters. That not everyone will be receptive, but that some will. That we can't pick and choose who we think will be saved, but that God will put that desire in the ones that He has chosen. For many are called, but few are chosen. We say LORD here I am, send me... and then we give up before we get to reap our reward. I don't want to be one that having put my hand to the plow and looking back will not be fit for the Kingdom. or one who will hear the words "depart from me, you worker of iniquity". I have got to hear my Master and best Friend to say "Well Done!" I want to be that faithful servant. I must never become weary in well doing. I must let HIM be LORD of my life and let me be His hands, His feet and His mouthpiece. Use me Lord!! I am willing!
Thank God for His love and mercy and for allowing me to have another day.
