Becoming a Full-Time Missionary Or Not

カテゴリ： English

＜今日はアメリカ人のお友達が数人遊びにきてくれるので全部英語です＞

I thought about my next step after graduation yesterday. Would You like me to be a missionary?? Or should I work somewhere and witness to my co-workers and my guests for Jesus Christ? What's next?

I always think my character is very different from my friends who are missionaries. They are so humble!! On the other hand, I am very outgoing and full of guts. I also love to be SILLY!! Laughter is more significant than food for me. Well, maybe Lord has another plan for me.

But last night just before I went to bed, Lord touched my heart deeply through His Word again! Praise God!! This is Paul talking, "Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim anything for ourselves, but our competence comes from God. He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant." (2 Cor. 3:4-6a)

This is so encouraging!!!! :)

I thought I was inadequate to become a missionary because of my striking character, but I felt like our Lord said to me, "Noriko, it is not about you. It is all about Me."

It is not about my inadequacy. It is all about GOD. How cool is that? If God wants me to be a missionary, it is He who makes me competent as His minister of a new covenant, the Gospel of Jesus Christ!! This is so beautiful, Lord!! You decide!! I obey!! Yeah!!

So I have decided not to decide my next step until He leads me. I trust YOU!! I am so happy that You are with me!! :) He will guide my way; that is for sure. "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, present your request to God. And the peace of God which surpasses understanding will guard your heart and your mind in Christ Jesus."

I want to surrender everything to You, Jesus, so that You will live Your life through me, your bond-servant. "I have been crucified with Christ, I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me."

Change me whom You want me to be, and use me for Your glory and for Your Kingdom.

Love you, Jesus.
