Because you say so

The older I get, the less I feel I know for sure.

I have fallen in love with so many things you've created, people, places but I have never known or experienced the meaning of love until I witnessed the sweetest face of a foreign girl confess her desire to know and spread the Truth of Jesus.

I have never regretted a moment of my life besides the ones I wasn't following closely with you.

I have fought you, Lord and I have lost time and time again. I pile my desires and plans and worry on top of the ones you've laid as my foundation until I can no longer see anything but my own mess. You shine light where there is darkness.

I have been dampened with spiritual warfare but the enemy, he has to leave, at the sound of your great name.

I feel like I am blindly wandering through life until I am comforted by the fact that you have gone before me, my future is history to you.

I have known many tears and heartache, none deeper than your very own heart toward the nation's that know nothing of your Gospel of salvation.

I sit in the midst of your creation and realize that I am not magnificent. I am broken. I am prideful. I have not fancy words or immeasurable wisdom but I know you. I trust you to do well in my life. I seek you to guide my weary feet. I am humbled that you use me even though you do not need me to bring glory to yourself. I am so incredibly thankful that I have had the experiences, the hurt, the joy that have made me a treasure in your hands.


So, I'll travel far, I'll dig deeply into your Truth, I'll surrender to the opportunities of eternal impact that you lay before me. I'll go, Lord, simply because you say so.
