If it's my desire to go the nations and spread the Gospel, why am I not practicing here? Why am I not showing grace and mercy to the people in my city? Why am I not being a missionary to MY nation?
When my heart had been gashed today I took refuge in these verses.
"13 for it is GOD who WORKS in you(ME) to will and
to act in order to fulfill HIS good purpose. 14 Do
everything without grumbling or arguing, 15 so that
you may become blameless and pure, “children of God
without fault in a warped and crooked generation.”
Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky".
-Phil 2:12-15It's always so good to remember, that it is HIM through me, not anything that I do on my own that can fulfill His good purpose. Nothing I can is ever going to be enough, but it's what I give Him to work with that He's going to use to bring Him glory.
My favorite part of this is "then you will shine among them like stars in the sky." When we do our part, we are going to be radiant. We are going to shine through in the darkest nights. We are going to be seen in a crowd, and we are going to have many many more opportunities to help save lives and to help fulfill His purpose. So reassuring.
