Promises ♥️ to never let it flood again. Keep my soul forever, lord.

You make known to me the path of life;     in your presence there is fullness of joy;     at your right hand are pleasures forevermore. (Psalm 16:11)

it is always an amazing deal for us American Christians to become “partners in the gospel” by putting in some small portion/10% of our paycheck while living our comfortable lives here. ESP when our precious missionaries abroad are doing all the work and sacrifice, paying for the gospel with their time, heart, prayers, children’s safety, lives. It’s like when one student does all the work and both partners get their names put on the project.

American Christians aren't really in a place to tell missionaries what to do or how to do it except for the small fact that we are trained in schools and universities and are able to give some practical pointers and a new perspective to help the project.

I am constantly trying to get in on a good deal by offering up some money and/or prayers for missionaries I hear about and trying to get my name tagged onto diff group projects.

Jesus, I love you today more than ever before, and I hope to say this everyday into eternity.

[treasureinafield]

I want to be where you are, God.

When Paul writes about the “partnership of the gospel,”

am I operating as part of the partnership of the gospel?

For all the saints around the world

I will build my life upon your love.

It is a firm foundation. 🏠

The wonder of the gospel that consumes our thoughts, the hope of salvation earnest in our prayers, the heartache for the poor and lost: this is the Christian joy and burden. We are supposed to put our today on hold and live for forever,

I constantly find my faith dwindling as I look around and wonder if I am doing life wrong. I keep having episodes of panic: should I build security and collect for myself? Am I a fool? Through my fear I say aloud,

I trust you, lord, and oh, how I am hopeful that I am right about you.

Please give me the earthly means to act on my convictions: bravery, money, time, connections. And give me strength and vision to keep wagering that you are real and that you are good. Keep coming through for me and being near me. Keep saving my people.

You are the best thing I know.

“But as for me, the nearness of God is my good; I have made the Lord God my refuge, that I may tell of all Your works.”
