Everybody's Calling

I've read Matthew 28 a lot of times. Well in fact the vision marked on my head, all the time! But I guess that's reason why until now, it still remained as a VISION, because it only MARKED ON MY HEAD.

Sharing the word has been really a burden to me since I became a Christian. Yeah, for some reasons, I know Christ, I know He loves and I know He has a great purpose for my life but somehow I just can't share the gospel! Get it! I just can't.

For months, I have been praying for boldness and for courage to share Jesus to my friends, but still, I end up standing in the corner doing nothing. I know that there's a big harvest out there and is just waiting for a worker to reap it but I still can't do it. It's like I'm missing the whole Christian point here. "Every Christian is called to make disciples", yet I'm claiming here that I'm a Christian but does nothing at all to advance God's kingdom. This is ridiculous!

Going back to the basics, God's greatest commandment is to "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind" (Matthew 22:37). This is the first and the greatest commandment. However, God's second commandment is like this: "Love your neighbor as yourself" (Matthew 22:39). Then, I realized what was lacking. I wasn't passionate with people, I was just living like a selfish pagan with no care for the lost people. I have the faith, I have the capabilities, but I don't have the love for people.

The starting point of discipleship is LOVE for the young people

This is what I'm lacking at all! I just value God but am not valuing what God values.

I think I'm feelin' it now. The burden for people who has not received Christ in their lives, I do feel it! Discipleship isn’t just a FULLTIME-thing, it's everybody's calling

For a long time I have kept silent, I have been quiet and held myself back

But now, like a woman in childbirth, I cry out, I gasp and pantIsaiah 42:14

Its kinda God who is speaking in this verse, but I want it to be my personal cry-out to God. I cry out for more of him in to my life! I want to b immersed and be saturated in His presence more and more! I want to be used y God as a witness not just to Jerusalem but to the ends of the earth as well, starting in my own land. I don’t care what will be the people's response, as for me, I'm more concern in sharing the Jesus Christ to everyone! :D

I don't have any regrets of the years that have been wasted. I'll forget the past and focus on the present. I'm a senior college student now, I should really make my last year in school a fruitful one.

Every Christian is called to make disciples. No one is excused for that! :D
