On Saturday I reminisced on what God had been showing me this summer. I started reading this book called Radical by David Platt, and it completely reminded me of what God taught me amd has called me too. The book is about not getting comfortable living the American dream and not forgetting God's heart for the world.
God really gave me that heart for the world and missions this past summer. I had been out of the country nearly all June and I was reading Acts which really changed me deeply. I guess I just got a little complacent where I am these past few months. But God reminded me.
"God blesses His people with extravagant grace so they might extend his extravagant glory to all peoples on the earth." (Platt)
I now have more passion when I pray for the world each day. I now have less fear about pursuing missions in the future. God has called me to it. He's called all Christians actually. Jesus's last words to His disciples were: "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:19-20
