Meanderings

God willing Gayle and I will move into South-East Asia within two years to embark on mission work among Gods beloved. God willing I won't be afraid to follow.

God willing I will not be burnt out from this crazy consultancy career.

God willing I will be granted the strength and courage to overcome my fear and walk in the purpose that God created me for.

We do not live for ourselves and of ourselves. We were created by God and for God.

I stand at a cross way now. I have two paths before me. I can choose to walk in this career where the opportunity for comfort and security seem real. Travel and financial opportunities. Just working for a tier-one consultancy opens up many doors that are not open to many. But my heart seems uneasy with this.

Is this all there is? Living to work? Living for comfort? No!

I was not called to believe in God for belief does not move to action. I was called to follow my Christ regardless of the consequence or risk.

Will I serve the persecuted church? Will I serve the beloved muslim brothers and sisters? To live amongst them and with them? Will I be a Christian? One who follows Christ? Or will I be afraid and retreat into selfishness and the world.

A scripture that's been on my heart lately:

"Therefore since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning it's shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who faced such opposition from sinful man so that you will not grow weary and lose heart." (Hebrews 12)

We are ambassadors.

We are servants.

We are beloved.

We are not forsaken.

We are cherished.

We are being renewed.

We are called for mission.

Jesus said: "Love God with all your heart, with all your mind, with all your soul, and with all your strength. Love your neighbour as yourself."

Live each day for Christ as though you know no other way to live.
