If we ask some people
why they are still serving in the community, they would answer, “Because I made
a commitment and I am responsible for it.” This is good, however this reason
will not go far.
This sometime leads to
contract mentality. “I will just finish my responsibility and then I’ll go.” “That
is not in my job description.” “I’m done with my responsibility.” Then we are
left wondering why some passionate brother or sister suddenly left from
service.
Responsibility and
accountability are not enough if we are to flourish in the mission, it has to be
Christ. Christ should be our burning desire to serve!
Passion for Christ first
and then for His mission, in this way, we will serve Him in whatever capacity
and not be bothered by any position or situation. Whether we are called for
life of fulltime mission or for a certain period, it does not matter, whatever
or wherever we are, we will serve the Lord, because our passion and burning
desire is Christ not anything else.
We are not just for
certain contract period; we are for life.
