All One Can Do

All one can do in this life to find solace is flee into God’s Word. All one can do in life is pray. All one can do in life is surrender your whole self to God no matter what the circumstances.

It’s hard to convey what you believe in your heart to the people that are closest to you. My mother, a woman who I greatly respect and admire, does not see the Will of God for my life. I try and tell her over and over again that I feel led to go to a bible college because it is my deepest desire to become a missionary. I want to be a light for Jesus in this dark world, and I strongly feel that His calling for my life is the foreign mission field. My mother seems to think that all I am doing is being arrogant because I want to go away to college, and she thinks I am going to throw my life away.

But in the midst of it all I still find peace. God gives peace to His children! I thank God and Jesus for all that has been done in my life. I thank the LORD that I was able to hear the gospel and get saved. All I want to do is serve Him with my life. I know that if I have to give up everything and just go and serve my Savior, He will provide for my needs. His grace is sufficient for me. I pray that my mother’s heart would be softened and that I would be able to tell her and even show her through my words how passionate I am for the work of the LORD. I am going to do everything that I can to live my life for Jesus. I want to be used to my fullest extent. I know God will provide a way because this is the path He wants me to follow.

Thank the LORD everyday for the breath of life you still obtain. He is only keeping us on this earth because He wants to use us for His purposes.

In Christ,
