I recently was talking to this man named Jesse who really impacted me. He is an American who once “had it all” and gave it all up to go be a missionary in South America. His decision to give up everything had left my mind running for hours. He explained how he’s never been so happy and I could actually see the joy in his face through his pictures.
Many thoughts passed through the highway of my mind but there was something that really touched my heart and it was the Orphanage. I looked through his pictures and my heart truly went out to them. I wanted to hold all of them and whisper that I loved them. It’s weird how you can love someone so much and not even know them, yet there I was with my heart in my hand looking at these pictures of these children and I could only imagine why they were there. I sat looking at his website and the pictures and I longed to live a life like Jesse's
King Solomon was right when he said, "Vanity of vanities, all is vanity." The ultimate question was asked inside of me, “Why are we never satisfied? Why are we always wanting more?” People are dying of starvation and yet we turn the blind eye just so that they won’t be our problem. When are we going to stand up with the authority that God gave us and share the joy and truth of Jesus Christ? We live in a country where we are free and yet we are the biggest cowards in the world. What are we afraid of losing? Your friend? Your popularity? That’s as much as we can lose here.
I don’t know why the Lord allowed my path and Jesse’s to cross. All I know was that it reminded me of what I was put on this earth to do. The Lord says come. He has a future for you; a purpose that only YOU can fulfill. God You have my heart. Do Your will in my life.
