What is your Everest?
Ultimately, I suppose I am questioning whom you serve.
Who do you serve?
What do you serve?
Being in Nepal has been a wonderful experience. It is a vibrant city, full of life, of people, of culture that I have yet to experience until now. I got curious, so I explored wherever God led me. I saw different people, different culture, different monuments, different colors. I got lost. The good kind of lost. I got lost with God. I got lost in the beauty of His people.
Yet, in a city of vibrance, I saw darkness right before my eyes. As I turn, I see more of His people looking for Him. I saw people worshipping different gods, different monuments. Do they ever get filled up?
There were a lot of them, but only one of me. What can I do but pray? I know my God is a lot more powerful than any monuments and any gods that they are trying to please. So I prayed, and I kept praying. I prayed for the person to my right and to my left. As I walk, I prayed. I prayed for the mother holding her child. As I stand, I prayed. I prayed for the person inside the Buddhist temple worshipping something that never fills her up. I prayed for the people of Nepal for their salvation to come.
In the end, even though I never truly saw a person come to know Christ that day, I knew that God was still in the business of saving lives. He is still there even though I have physically left the environment. He is powerful and mighty, all I have to do is say yes to the adventure he calls me to.
Personally, saying yes to the adventure and exploration of the city was something that I have missed with my relationship with God. Getting lost in a city of vibrance showed me that even though I may be physically lost, I am still His. I was never lost, because I am with God forever.
Even then, God worked in me. I finally found what I have been missing these past few months. I found myself back to where I started. Back to the beginning of my relationship with God of exploration and wander.
