17 May 2006 ! at 4:00 PM ! One evening, a call for dedication was given at a church missions conference. Beverly, a homemaker from Kansas and her husband, together with their 3 small children made a personal dedication to serve the Lord with their lives. They walked down the aisle together as a family and headed towards the front of the church, praying to the Lord, "Anywhere, anytime, and anything, Lord." 2 years later, Beverly walked into a tarpaper shack that was to be her home in the mission field of Papua New Guinea. It had a two-foot sepration between the walls and the roof, allowing anything to enter or leave the shack. She looked around her surroundings and feeling discouraged, whispered to herself, "I didn't mean this, Lord." She cried for 2 weeks, and when her husband asked if she wanted to leave the mission field and head for home, she said yes. But the Lord gently and patiently showered His unfailing love upon her until she could say again, "Anywhere, anytime, anything, Lord." She and her husband were most blessed and privileged to see many people come out of darkness into God's marvellous light as they served Him boldly together in Papua New Guinea. 7 years later, Beverly waved goodbye to her only son returning to college in the United States. In her heart she cried, "I didn't mean this, Lord." But again, after much struggling within her heart, she trusted God to take good care of her son while he was half a world away from the family. 2 years later, her family was happily reunited when they were transferred to North Carolina where her husband was to train other aircraft mechanics at the Jungle Aviation and Radio Service base (JAARS, a branch of Wycliffe Bible Translators). Her son planned to become a pilot for the jungle aviation program. One night Beverly answered the insistent ringing of the telephone. A doctor from a local hospital urged, "Come quickly. There's been an auto accident." Beverly and her husband rushed to the hospital. The doctor met them, and with his voice breaking, he said, "Your son's girlfriend is taking her X-rays now - we think she is going to make it. But...I'm sorry to tell you that your son did not." Into Beverly's mind flashed the image of a young couple with their 3 small children between them, walking down the aisle of a church and saying, "Anywhere, anytime, anything, Lord." And the enemy of her soul taunted, "See! See what God does when you give everything to Him?" Her heart cried in agony, "Oh, I didn't mean this, Lord." Then quietly to her heart the Lord said, "Beverly, I gave my only Son for you. Are you willing to let yours go to be with Me?" And she was able to respond with a humble heart of absolute surrender, "Anywhere, anytime, anything, Lord." All of us ordinary people have an extraordinary call to an extraordinary God, who daily calls each of us to total commitment. Our heart commitment is imperative, our willingness to be totally His - anywhere, anytime, and in anything. God wants us to be wholehearted in following Him. Totally sold out. Willing to pay the price of being His disciples, His servants. The purpose of our lives is to know God..this simply means having total unwavering commitment to God and to His Word with our whole being. ~ Carole Mayhall Our life is full of brokenness - broken promises, broken hearts, broken relationships, broken expectations. How can we live with that brokenness without becoming bitter and resentful except by returning again and again to God's faithful presence in our lives? ~ Henri Nouwen it touched me. it seriously deeply touched me. copied that from daph's blog. so touching and encouraging. and yes Lord, i really want to have total unwavering commitment to You and Your Word be with me. I am only so insignificant, and You are so Great. and yet you are willing to give me this honour to serve You totally, wholeheartedly. Lord may i be able to respond to your calls with "anywhere, anythin and anytime Lord." thank You so much for loving and healing me. I ran to God in open arms. He was there, waiting for me. I needn't have to wait indifinitely, just like the way i waited for people. Love will finally lead me to the heart of God; it will. And i promise i would never shed another tear. copied that from somebody's blog. it moved me to tears. i felt as though i could relate to her. it was as though we were going the same thing, just different struggles - but both something which seemed to cause us a lot of confusion and pain. but i take comfort in knowing that no matter what, God will always be there for me even when the rest of the world seems to have fade away. when i read that, i suddenly had this longing to run to God and His open arms once again, run to Him and just rest and cry all i want there after all the feelings bottled up and just let HIm cry with me, comfort me and calm my sobbing heart cuz only His comfort can heal my bleeding heart; mend my broken life. yes. only Him alone can satisfy me cuz only He knows what i really need. and after reading that, i cried. i truely felt God telling me that i am so ever important to Him and He would do nothing to harm me. yet all these struggles i have, it is to strengthen me, to help me grow. and for that, i thank You Lord. and i just broke down and cried after reading the sort-of poem. because i felt tired. mentally tired. i felt as though i had ran away from God. all these while, i suddenly felt that i had not put and cast all my cares and burdens at His throne and let Him place control over them and help me. my art, my family relationship etc... i took them in my owns miserable tiny hands. which i can do nothing with without the strength of Christ. with Him, all things are possible. without Him, nothing is possible. nothing at all. and Lord i just thank You for taking such good care of me. and having such good plans for me. even though my future may seem bleak now, i know you have great plans for me, Your humble servant. and let me serve You humbly and may all the glory be unto You and not me Lord. Did you know that those who appear to be very strong in heart, are real weak and most susceptible? Did you know that those who spend their time protecting others are the ones that really need someone to protect them? Did you know that the three most difficult things to say are: I love you, Sorry and help me? Did you know that those who dress in red are more confident in themselves? Did you know that those who dress in yellow are those that enjoy their beauty? Did you know that those who dress in black, are those who want to be unnoticed and need your help and understanding? Did you know that when you help someone, the help is returned in two folds? Did you know that it's easier to say what you feel in writing than saying it to someone in the face? But did you know that it has more value when you say it to their face? Did you know that if you ask for something in faith, your wishes are granted? Did you know that you can make your dreams come true, like falling in love, becoming rich, staying healthy, if you ask for it by faith, and if you really knew, you'd be surprised by what you could do. But don't believe everything I tell you, until you try it for yourself, if you know someone that is in need of something that I mentioned, and you know that you can help, you'll see that it will be returned in two-fold. i got this from an email! kinda cool(: well i'll post somemore another time! wanna sleep now :/ <3, CASS. |
