Last month, I was asked a question that I hadn't been asked since I was a child... "If you could have any job in the world that you wanted, what would it be, what would bring you the most satisfaction?" (I paused; I sighed...) I immediately thought of things I'd previously said, even from when I was a child; a clown, a garbage man, a teacher, a neurosurgeon, a psychologist, an actor, then it hit me... I retained the tears that began to well up in my eyes, just as they are while I'm typing this, and I replied, "I'd preach the gospel."
That would bring me joy. That would bring me satisfaction and fulfillment. I may not be all the way "right," but I delight in serving the Lord. I consider it an honor and a pleasure to share the good news of the gospel of Christ, to preach the message of the cross, for it has the power to save souls; to win souls for the Kingdom. To introduce a deliverer to those headed for destruction, a comforter to those in the midst of chaos, a healer to the heavy hearted and a savior to the sinner. I've been in school, I've been called, anointed, getting ready, equipped. Yet within these past trials, something changed me, and I've never been more sure of anything in my entire life, than this yearning to lay down ALL of my former life for the Lord, and tell the world how His love lifted me; to take up my cross, and follow Him... I'm Yours Lord; let Your will be done. #Pruning #Preparation #Power #Purpose
