The Journey

Ariel’s trip to Traverse and back

“Do you want to be a Missionary?” March 31, 2009

 

We would like to talk to you about Cheeses

"We would like to talk to you about Cheeses"

That  was the question posed to me the other day by my new found facebook friend Preston Cunningham. 

The question at first struck me as odd. Why on earth would someone I barely even know even care? But as I pondered the question, I really started to think about it. Missions come in many forms, and in a sense, aren’t we all called to be missionaries? 2Timothy 4:5(ESV) tells us to ” Do the work of an evangelist.” The Bible never says we have to go knocking on doors, but it does call us to share the gospel with everyone. And if God has overfilled our hearts with joy about his word, we should be pouring out to others.  We should be barely able to contain ourselves! While we may not all be missionaries in the traditional sense, we are all called to serve God’s master plan.

In the end, I came to the conclusion that I do want to be a missionary. Perhaps that will have me someday serving the Lord in a faraway place, or perhaps it will have me somewhere nearby. I don’t know all of God’s master plan, and even if I did, It’s far too complex for my understanding to even begin to try and understand it all. No matter where God may call me to be , I want to serve God with all that is in me. I want to be a missionary. 

Much thanks to my beloved Friend Andrea for sending me the picture. It really seemed to fit well.
