Andrew and I decided to jump into the book of 1 CORINTHIANS! So, here goes . . .
Just as Paul was called to be an apostle of Jesus, by Gods will, some of us are also called to do great things.(1 COR:1) Those that are called, people give thanks to because they bring light to others. They will venture off to serve equipt with all knowledge they need and lacking in nothing. (Makes me think of James 1:4"Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything".
What comes to mind when reading the first part of Chapter 1 is Missionaries! They are called from God and therefore impact so many lives. It truly has to be the will of God for someone to lay down their life for not only God, but everyone. It is a very self-less life. Missionaries are setting a good example for all of us, because shouldn't we all be living that way anyway? Thinking of others instead of ourselves first, giving to give and not ask anything in return, and making a difference in someone's life . . . aren't those all things everyone wants? I think that defines being truly happy!
Keep Andrew in your prayers as he is prepping for life in the Mission field, and pray for me to have it on my heart.
