Gideon.
Joseph.
David.
Jeremiah.
Do you feel like either of these young men right now? Has God put something in your heart but you're left feeling limited to do it? Are you clueless about how things are going to happen for your Godly intentions?
My question is, are you going to ignore/put off the call to missions, ministry or a specific role much longer?
Lately, I've been feeling that I'm not living up to my fullest potential. Strange coming from me, as I've always tried to fulfill my life purpose intentionally. But lately, I've felt that there is more... there's a higher level that requires more faith and seeking from me, a level that once again brings me to the region of not-knowing-what's-next. It's called being in the discomfort zone.
At the children's camp in Japan, we acted out Bible stories of the abovementioned characters. Each story carried this truth: Even though you feel small and inadequate, God wants to, and will, use you to accomplish greater things.
How apt that we should be like little children receiving that timeless truth in our struggles regarding obedience and our individual call. I challenge you to live up to your potential. It's regretful if you don't.
