Have you ever wondered what a missionary is? What they do? How they do it? It is a selfless act. It is something that makes you ask the question on am I a missionary or a mission field? This question was posed to the group of people I was with whilst in America. You're really one or the other... but sometimes it's hard to identify which.
I know there are times when I know which one I am and I know right now there's times I feel like I am not doing the best I can or I don't want to be because I am exhausted but the big question is are you doing what you can? You don't have to travel far to be a missionary. You don't have to eat foreign foods. You can stay at home. Are you showing God's love where you're at in what you're doing? This is the big question. This is what I hope I am still doing when everything feels up in the air and this is what I hope others can see in me... God's love, not my own ambitions, fears, hurts, selfishness, etc. but God's love. It is He that I live for and it is because of Him that my life has purpose. He has given each and everyone of us a purpose in life.... each and everyone of us has a hope and a future and something to live for. So what are you waiting for? Are you a missionary or a mission field?
