Would you Go and Follow Gods Calling!
Do you dream of being a ballerina, a mom and wife, a great musician,but what if that's not what God has planned for you! What if God was calling you to the mission field? Would you go? I always dreamed of going to India,but what if God wanted me to dedicate my life to that and never get married,never live a life like a one of my sisters who is married,with a family! Would I do it? Would you do it?
We are God's servant and when we gave our lives to God we are now letting Him take control of our lives and trusting Him! God sometimes asks us to do things we don't want to do. But we are Gods servant we would be disobedient if we said,'no' instead we should say what one of my favorite missionary named Mary Slessor said,"I'm willing to go any where Lord,as long as its forward."
Some of us are called to a tougher calling then others. But God has a calling for each of us and it is a challenge for each of us! Weather it's being a missionary or a stay at home mom they both bring challenges we don't like to face!
PRAYER
Praying for missionaries could be more of a help than you might think. we could pray to give them the knowledge and support they need! What if one day you decide to pray for a missionary family you saw on some bulletin at church you don't know why,but you do and later you find out that at that moment they were being persecuted by Muslims and all the sudden they stopped and ran off. When those Muslims came to kill the missionaries they ran instead! Now it may not be that extreme,but you never know what your prayers can do! Now I'm not saying just missionaries need our prayers,I think everyone need prayer,through their christian walk,for their safety! You could have a friend that is struggling with something and your prayers could make a difference!
God's Calling
Mary Selssor since a very young age wanted to share the gospel and was convicted to go to Africa at a young age also even though she didn't have a chance to go until she was in her 20's! She took over childrens church bible studies that buildings could only be rented in rough neighborhood where gangs roamed. But that didn't stop Mary she knew what God wanted her to do and trusted Him to see her through it! And He did , it was His calling for Mary!
So do what God has called you to do it may be more rewarding then you realize and pray for missionaries and others around you!
I hope this article got it's point across,cause I'm horrible at writing out articles when I'm trying to explain what I want to explain!
