You have not been called to be comfortable

You are a soldier, a warrior, a saint... YOU HAVE NOT BEEN CALLED TO BE COMFORTABLE. Recently I moved into a temporary living situation while on a waiting list for where I am supposed to be. I have been here for over a week now and just yesterday did I get back to work. I kept telling myself that I needed some time to get settled. Time to adjust. The truth is I was getting comfortable. 

If you are a true soldier, there is no time to get comfortable. There is a world going to Hell, there is no time to be complacent. I know I cannot do it all, I am not God. BUT I do have Jesus living within me, and I am committed to doing His will, in doing so I am called to reach the nations. 

I was not placed on this Earth to be comfortable, to rest and attain for my own personal gain. I was put here to complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me, the task of testifying to the good news of God's grace. Is that crazy? Extreme? Too much? Possibly, but was Jesus giving Himself up to death a little thing? 

It is time to live to the extreme, worship, pray, read the word, testify to the extreme. My heart aches when I think of all of the people that have not had the opportunity to know God's love. When I think of the people that I have crossed paths with that I should have testified to. That needed to hear a word that God gave me for them. My lack of boldness could have cost their life. 

I have been blessed with a multitude of gifts, but I am doing little to nothing with them. I can write, I have a way with words, a poetic voice. Yet I sit silent. I sing, I have a passion for worship, yet my voice isn't heard. I went to school for digital video production and editing, and I sit back as a spectator. I feel as though I have so much potential, so much that I can do for the Kingdom, yet I am complacent. 

So I ask you, soldier, what have to done today to share the gospel? 

God I pray this night that you open up opportunities that will utilize me and the gifts you have given me in a way that glorifies you and your Kingdom. I pray that in so doing I will not become prideful, but instead remember that it is about you and your Kingdom. Holy Father I am an open vessel, I pray that you fill me to overflowing to do the work of your hand, to spread your love, and your word. I thank you in advance for allowing me the opportunity to bless others, it is not something that I take lightly. I thank you for being with me every step of the way, less of me and more of you Lord. In Jesus name I pray. AMEN

Diligently smiling.
