It is not service that
makes us missionaries. It is not service that makes us SFC, or Mission Volunteers
and Fulltime Pastoral Workers for that matter. It is the Lord and his grace. It
is Jesus who made us missionaries and by His grace we are still here.
It is important to
always be reminded of this truth, because it is so easy to fall into the trap
of measuring success with how much service we give. No, this is not what made
us missionaries. It is not how much service we give, but rather, how much Jesus
we have. Then because we have Jesus, we give Jesus fully in service.
What had been more
evident in me: Jesus or service?
