where to begin with Honduras, how about a bus ride that was gonna take 4-6 hours, wait no 8 oh sorry guys its looking like 12. Hey were here and it only took 15 hours. I met a man named Ricardo he was our driver for the 15 hour trip he did not complain once. He just kept driving and praising God and trusting he would get us to our destination. Those 15 hours i was able to see a true servant of God at work. Some one who doesnt complain about a hard situation there faced with, but keeps praying and asking God for safety. Some one who is willing to go out of his way for other Christians he doesnt even know, and try his very hardest for 15 straight ours cause he believes that god is gonna do work through us.
It made think though as i sat there next to this man with an amazing heart, am i willing to do that. To go out of my way when im tired sore, and just wanna stop and finish tomorrow, will i push through cause God has called me to? Will i go to the end of my rope for people i hardly know? will i keep pushing through the hard times satan throws my way this trip to get me off focus? Before i met Ricardo, my answer would have been no way im gonna push through because im strong enough. But i realize that Ricardo was not able to push through on his own strength bu it was cause of Gods strength. My heart is open my blinders are off and im seeing things and understanding them and its cause of Gods strength. On our own we will fall and crawl in the dirt we dont even have the strength to pick ourselves back up. With God however he lifts us off the ground to walk with him, so our feet never get dirty. A servants heart can refute the lies of the devil and can break the tribulations of this world. If i God seeks the heart and comes to rest in us, he will make our hard human hearts, into hearts open and ready to serve him, and serve others. God im ready for that and i pray all of you reading this blog come to a point where you are too.
