Today I read some good words written by K.P. Yohannan in his book Revolution In World Missions. Describing a time of discouragement, he said he became angry and judgemental and experienced feelings of ugliness and depression. It was then the Spirit of the Lord spoke to him.
"I am not in any trouble," He chided that I need someone to beg for Me or help Me out. I made no promises that I will not keep.It is not the largeness of the work that matters but only doing what I command. All I ask of you is that you be a servant. For all who join with you in the work, it will be a privilege - a light burden for them."
Mr. Yohannan writes that following this he reflected on his situation: This is His work. Why am I making it mine? The burden is light. Why am I making it heavy? The work is a privilege. Why am I making it a chore? I instantly repented my sinful attitudes.
What good advice! Keeping the focus on doing what God asks of us is the absolute right choice that will bring us joy every day when we work diligently to His Glory.
This work is joyful and it's sole purpose is to become a tool that will bring the love of Jesus into the hearts of young people in Eastern Europe.
