I was thinking about my world vision or lack there of. Some people have a better ability to think globally than I do. I'm grateful for them. There have been times that I have felt like there was something wrong with me since I don't share that same burden and passion as those who give their whole lives in ministry to those in countries overseas. I care about sick and starving children where ever they may be and it would be great to see people near and far come to know Christ Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior. Am I narrow minded, cold or selfish for not making this my mission in life as well? I have struggled, internally, with that in the past.
I am able to say, today, that I am content with the vision that God has given me. I am able to support others with these types of ministries even though God didn't place that same burden and passion on my heart. We all have the responsibility to share Christ with others. We can't all have the same mission field, however. I want to live with the purpose that He intends for me through the passions and burdens that He lays on my heart.
You are a missionary right now.
