It has been over a year since I have written here, but I have learned so many things that cannot be explained in words. One specific thing that has captured my thoughts over the past year is the idea of obedience. God has shown me that obedience is something to always strive for, even when my passion for God is not as strong. Sometimes we have to just obey whether our heart is in it or not. If we wait until we grow a passion for something then we might never do it…so we just have to obey God and trust Him with the results of our faithful obedience. But I have also learned that unless a passion and love for Jesus and His commands is what motivates me, I will be miserable doing His work and will want to bail out. He MUST be my only passion!
In terms of living life with a missional mindset, the issue is obedience to what our Savior has said, not if one soul is more worthy than another. A soul right here in Kentucky is no more worthy than one in Afghanistan, Brazil, or Uganda. But because God has given us a mandate and shown us His heart for the WHOLE world, He is what makes it worth it because He alone is worthy. Live life faithfully and obediently in the Spirit of the Holy God!
