Peace

Hey guys! So I just wanted to let you know what God taught me from my last blog. Last night I did a WHOLE lot of praying. I was really upset. I prayed that God would help me understand. I prayed that He would show me what He was trying to teach me. I prayed for peace and comfort about the situation. When I finally quit running my mouth and was still so God could speak and me hear this is what He had to say.

He told me that it was my job to speak the truth. I am to plant seeds in people when I speak. It is the Holy Spirits job to water and grow that seed inside of people. It is their descisions if they want to obey and follow those truths. God does not force the truth on people and I am not to try to either. I can live and speak the truth and be a light to others, but I am only responsible for myself. He also showed me that my frustration with this is the reason He called me to missions and not a pastoral posistion. God knows what He is doing whether I know it or not.

I pray that God coninues to teach me and everyone who reads this. I pray that He shows us how to be true Christians. I pray that He continues to challenge us and show us the truth through our studies. I pray that God will show us our faults and our sins so that we may grow from the lessons we learn from our mistakes. I pray that no matter what is sent our way that we can say “It is well with my soul.” I pray that God continues the mighty work that He has begun in each of us so that His name and His name alone shall be glorified throughout the ages by all of creation. Amen!
