What am I doing?

I've been challenged by 2 things lately. I've been hearing these questions running through my head over and over as I try to avoid having to answer to the prompting in my spirit.


1. Am I doing ALL that I can to further the Kingdom where I am RIGHT NOW by serving and loving?

At the end of the day I think, what excuses did I come up with today to escape from having to do a difficult job?
I can't speak the language. God's speaks their language and has the power to use me even though I can't communicate in the natural; that's a bad excuse.
It's too hot and it makes me tired. Well, too bad. 65 million other people have lived their whole lives in this heat and they are hard workers. Not a good excuse of being lazy when other people are dying without hearing about Jesus.
I miss home and would rather be there. I'll be home soon enough...that means only a little time left to make a difference RIGHT HERE.

Everyday there are opportunities if my eyes are open to see the needs. Sometimes I need to go seek out somewhere to give and not just wait for an opportunity to come to me. Every day that we walk with illegitimate excuses is another day of walking in selfishness, looking out for our own needs instead of people who are way more desperate than we are. Jesus gave up His whole life for this.

"even as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."


2. Am I loving people well WHEREVER I go? Is the love of Christ being shown through my life by the way that love people?

There are people that are hard to love. No matter where I go, there are those people. I can't escape it. But Jesus didn't choose to love certain people. Those people that hard to love are probably people who really need it. If I'm claiming to follow the life of Christ, trying to be more like Him, loving people like He did is such a huge part. It's not something that we can avoid in running after Christ.

"If I give away all that I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing. "
