Willing

Willing. We say we are willing to go... so, why aren't we? If God's heart is to make Himself known among the nations, why aren't there more workers? Why are there so many unreached? Why are we still trying to justify our disobedience and disguise it with this idea of a mystical calling, as if God should have to... on top of leaving us with the great commission and the Bible... have to personally beg us to go to the lost. How do we not understand that we follow a God who sacrificed all to save us so why would we expect anything less? No longer can we justify our disobedience with the excuse of not having "a calling." We don't need a calling because we are commanded to go. Maybe we aren't as willing as we say we say we are. What is it that is holding us back? There is no sacrifice too great! As believers we have an eternal hope TO LIVE IS CHRIST AND TO DIE IS GAIN, therefore there is nothing to fear! Let's nail the colors to the mast! We have been given the chance to be part of something bigger than our short lives, we can make them count for eternity. The Lord is sovereign and His name will be known among the nations. All I know is I want to be one of those who are part.
