I wish I could fully communicate the joy
God has put into my heart. The fact that He chose me before the foundations of
the earth to be His light is completely overwhelming. What’s even more amazing
is He doesn’t need me to do anything, but He chooses to use me to further His
kingdom. What a privilege it is to be His; to belong to His family. 
Even though my heart was to do missions
before something awakened in me at training. After one of the sessions I was
praying and journaling and as I was thinking about next year this is what I
cried out to my God. Father, I pray that
You would open my heart to the knowledge of you. Please, make my heart like Yours;
let me feel what You feel, break my heart for what breaks Your heart. Help me
to understand Your heart for the countries and nations You send me to. Father,
please let me be so filled with Your love that it spills out onto those I come
in contact with and through that they would see You and glorify Your Name.
God renewed my passion for His people. He’s
given me a new love for them. Not a love that feels sorry for them or just
wants to help but a love that only comes from Jesus. A love that desires others
to come to the full realization of all He truly is. A love that’s excited to
see hope rise in the faces of His children. A love that’s ready to pour out all
it can so others might come to know Him. A love that’s not hesitant or scared
to look foolish for His sake. A love that wants others to know the inexpressible
joy of belonging to Him and being in His family. A love that desires to see
every tongue, every tribe, and every nation come together and praise the One
who made them all.
I
don’t think I can get across completely how full my heart is. Like I said
earlier He doesn’t need me but He chose to use me and to put this desire, this
passion, this Love in my heart so I can best serve Him where He wants me. He
has filled me with His love to the point of bursting and all I can say in response
is “here I am Lord, send me”.
