It was just a regular
day at college, same stuff as usual, class, friends and food. Before I go to my
second class I always hang out with two great friends. We have been friends
since the 6th grade, we all started following God at the same time. We have
shared trips, sleepovers and high school. By the way that things were happening
after we graduated, it seemed like we wouldn't be together, the three of us in
one place. For some reason and only God knows why, after almost a year we are
now in college...together.
So, in this regular
college day, we started talking about what has been going on in our lives. We
all want to be missionaries and we all have this need to just leave and start
working for God. A career seems important, but we all know that what we will do
for the rest of our lives is tell others about God's love, by being used by Him
to help fulfill the needs that they have....in other words Serve.
But why? Why does God
want us to stay in Honduras when we are crying out to Him that we want to leave
and just start serving?
We don't have the
answer to this, all we know is this:
And we know that all
things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the
called according to His purpose.
- Romans 8:28
Note that it
says "His purpose", not my purpose or your purpose but His purpose; which is perfect. I do not choose what my life
will be, but He chooses it. Doesn't it sound amazing that He is in control, and
because He is in control EVERYTHING that happens to us will be for our good. I
love this!...at the same time it is scary to think of the hurt that I might go
through because God is molding me. In the process of being molded, I will learn
to be good, and I will go through situations that will hurt...it is only at the
end of the road when we find out that the pain was worth it.
I might not understand
why I am here right now, but it makes me happy to know that by this I am
submitting to God completely. Waiting for the time when He will say Go!
4 Rejoice
in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all.
The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation,
by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends
all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
-Philippians 4:4-6
