suffering
this is a messsage God has been growing in my heart since august. he has finally allowed for me to formulate a portion of my thoughts and feelings into words to share thus far. up until this point, i have only been able to express my feelings through tears -- moans, groans and deep in your soul cries i could not explain. the only way i know how to describe what i experienced is literally ache in my heart type pain - God's heart for those hurting and suffering due to the injustice of our world.
this is not a manipulative, emotional ploy to get your sympathy but a reality check to get you moving with the things of God. to be reminded that it is not about you and it is not about you building your mini kingdom and name. it's all about a hurting and dying world.
someone is counting on you to do your God part. we have all been given a different task and assignment by God for this very purpose, to bring the Gospel to the ends of the earth -- in whatever platform, or lot he has portioned. if there is no other incentive for you to discover your purpose and to live it out, perhaps the reality that a real person is depending on you to answer the call to do your God part so that they may live, literally.
it is no mistake you are the way you are with the passions, gifting and talents God has given. it is not a mistake that you live in america -- it's God plan. but know that his plan was never for you to become comfortable and selfish. he has given and provided so that you can be a conduit of his love and resources to those in need.
someone is counting on you to live out your purpose and perhaps in doing so, you would alleviate their suffering. if God has called you to make millions of dollars through whatever platform or avenue he has pre-ordained, do it. some hungry child is waiting, some young girl is needing to get out of the sex industry and some persecuted missionary is waiting for your help.
for us in america, we have been given so much and are blessed beyond measure. the least we can do is live out our purpose to the full because someone on the other side of globe is counting on us. we have each been given an assignment. fulfill that calling, whatever the cost.
i tremble at the thought of whose life has been affected on my account -- for not living out my purpose. what child continues to go hungry, what addiction plagues our youth, what sexual immorality takes place, what abuse occurs on a regular basis, and what torment by the enemy due to lack of spiritual guidance. dear God, have mercy.
but yet in all these things, God still reigns. He is God and one day soon, there will be no more suffering, no more pain. but until then, let's get on with our God assignments. real lives are at stake.
