Not Service

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?
