I will never forget this March of 2011. Honduras missions trip. Roughly 3,000 patients seen and 700 comming to Christ. It has changed my life, forever.
God blessed me with this opportunity, and even more, He reminded me of what I have, and what I cannot live without.
This trip was His mission continuing in my life, and His rich, pure, holy blessings pouring out of mortal dependent imperfect creatures like myself. It was truly humbling.
There were moments when I caught myself losing heart, becoming impatient, sensitive, irritable, stressed...the stronger relationship with God,l the more I did His will, the more I saw how much I do not reflect Him. How His love has covered my all sins...how patient He is with me, how tolerant and how merciful...
God changes my heart and improves me daily...He reminds me of His wisdom, His blessings, He calls me back to Him when I am distracted...He reveals Himself to me. He is my happiness, my only true joy. All of Truth is in Him.
The Joy we have from God, we gave away with every word and touch to the poor people of Honduras...It was not ours to keep...it never is.
I pray for many many more opportunities like this in my life. Part of it, of course, is the amazing outcome of my spirit and heart. He never fails to do His mission within me.
JAMES 3:17
But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
