If God wanted you to...

Go to the ends of the earth what would you say?
Have you ever asked Him or felt like He was calling you to missions?
It took me 6 years to give Him an honest answer, I was wondering if anyone else ever had to do the same.

I actually enlisted in the Young Life Mission at Terrones Middle School, I didn't feel I had to leave the country or anything, I could do God's work in a city where the majority of people aren't Christian, Fresno.

I think if Christians spent as much time on local missions rather than foreign, we might be better neighbors.

I would go anywhere the Lord leads. Right now in my life it does not seem feasible (married, child, husband not supportive, etc.) but if I ever get the chance, I'm open to it

 

[free4life]

let me rephrase that I HOPE I would go anywhere the Lord leads I often find myself sounding a lot like Peter, and then turning around and doing exactly what he did :o

I truly do desire though to follow the Lord with all my heart.

The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak sometimes, eh?

I'm still struggling with a similar problem. What I want versus what He wants.

 

[Droobie]

God would not want you to do something that you don't want to do.

 

[Phoebe]

I probably didn't state that the way I should have.

 

[Lotar]

God would not want you to do something that you don't want to do.

What would ever lead you to that conclusion?

If He called me, I would. Atleast I hope that I would.

I haven't really asked Him, and I've never felt called.

This is my testimony on if I'd go.

Hear The Call​

When I first came to know the Lord​

My heart was set on fire​

To seek his ways and know his truths​

It was my heart's desire​

I soon thereafter told my friends​

How Jesus died for me​

I thought not of offending them​

I witnessed openly​

Early in this new found walk​

I felt a Missions Call​

Those of which I did dismiss​

"That's not for me at all"​

The pioneer inside of me​

Sang a different song​

As far as what God planned for me​

I'd just bring Him along​

Then one day my plans and dreams​

All suddenly seemed to stop​

In front of me He'd placed a wall​

I couldn't climb it's top​

He told me that His plan for me​

Was of His own design​

And of my future hopes and dreams​

Of these I must resign​

No longer could I brush Him off​

And just forsake His Call​

He showed me that if I do this​

Then He's not Lord at all​

I told Him that, I knew this so​

His Will I said I'd live​

He told me once I crossed that line​

My son, you I forgive​

Now set free from my own dreams​

I sought the Missions Call​

I then realized to my surprise​

T'was not his will at all​

This was, you see, a test for me​

Would I drop all I planned,​

If He should choose to send me to​

Some distant foreign land​

If God's been dealing with your heart,​

Please don't forsake His call​

The very thing you think He wants, ​

He may not want at all​

This reminds me a lot of that hymn "Here I am", you know how it goes, "I the Lord of Sea and Sky, I have heard my people's cry; all who dwell in deepest sin my hand will save" well it goes on and talks about "Who will bear my light to them?" Then the chorus of the hymn is, "Here I am Lord. Is it I Lord? I have heard you calling in the night. I will go Lord, if you lead me. I will hold, your people in my heart."

I just thought I would share, I don't have a copy of it, but if someone wants to post it, it really speaks!
