What if God handed you everything you wanted in this life and then asked you to abandon it all for the sake of the call?! Could you do it, could you walk away from everything in this life that you hoped for, prayed for and dreamed about? Could you do it with a willing heart? Could you do it cheerfully?! That's the place that God wants to get us: where we completely surrender our will to His will and His timing...
If God required it of me, could I walk away from working law enforcement, from this dream job?! Could I go and be a missionary in a country like Africa; could I do it even if it meant being on the otherside of the world away from everyone I know and love?! When God asked, "Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?" Will I answer, "Here am I: send me." (Isaiah 6:8) Am I willing to pay the price for reckless abandonment?! If I make it my life's prayer to live continually humbling myself before His mighty hand then daily I am becoming that vessel fit for His use...
He has my heart and He has my life; all of me is in His hands. I sacrifice my desires so that He might live through me for those around me to see. I am His no matter what that might mean and no matter what He asks of me! Amen!!
