TRUST JESUS

“Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.”
1 Thessalonians 5:24 KJV

We read in the Bible that Jesus calls us to serve Him.  “Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?  Then said I, Here am I; send me” (Isaiah 6:8).  I answered the call of Jesus for me to serve Him full time on October 4, 1998.  Have you answered the call of Jesus?

I walked down the aisle to the altar during the invitation and told the pastor that God had called me to be a missionary.  The pastor took my hand and prayed the most beautiful prayer for me.  He told me not to wait until God told me what He wanted me to do.  He said, “Start telling people that Jesus loves them”.

God didn’t tell me what He wanted me to do until January 24, 2005 when He gave me the ministry of writing devotions.  I have had the privilege of serving Jesus full time for eleven years.  They have been the happiest years of my life.  Jesus has been faithful to me these eleven years and has never left me.

I have not had the privilege to go to Bible School but I have been attending the University of God every day for eleven years and the Holy Spirit is my Teacher.  One of my pastors said in a sermon “If you want to fly higher than a kite, start bragging on Jesus.”  I have been flying high for eleven years.

Heavenly Father, thank You for trusting me and for allowing me to serve Your Son.  I pray for every person who has never said yes to Jesus.  May today be the day they invite Jesus into their heart to be their personal Saviour.  I love You, precious Jesus.  Thank You for dying for my sins.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
