The majority of people I’ve met spend most of their lives searching for God’s will for them. What I find sad about this is a lot of them never achieve the mission God has for them because they are always looking for this illusive Will of God. What I have learned is God’s will for me is the same as for anyone. Jesus gave us a very clear mission when He ascended into heaven.

[quote]“but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth.” – Acts 1:8[/quote]

God’s will for my life and yours is to be His witnesses. We are to witness to what He has done in our lives. Tell others what you know to be true about God because of what He has done in your life. I can be a witness to the fact that God answers prayer because of prayers He has crazily answered for me over the years.

What can you witness about God? What do you know to be a fact about Him, no matter what anyone else says but He has proved it to you over the years? No one can convince me that my God is not good because He has proven His goodness to me so many times!

[quote]“I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.” – Psalm 27:13[/quote]

I am writing this from Project Samuel in Zambia, Africa. Two years ago when I worked here full time I would have told you that I knew without a doubt the Will of God for my life was me living and working here for the rest of my life. Because I, like a lot of people I know, had this idea that God’s will is a job, person to marry, status, or a church. I thought that God’s will for me had more to do with a location than what I was actually doing. So when I became very ill and had to move back home to Texas two years ago, I had a crisis of faith and fell into a depression. But slowly God started to speak to my broken heart and tell me He was more concerned with what my life was telling the world about Who He is than about where I lived.

[quote] “For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.” – Matthew 25:35-36 [/quote]

So I want to encourage you to speak of what God is and has done for you. Because like me when you are open to telling others of His grace He could send you to more countries than you could’ve ever dreamed about. In two years I have had the incredible blessing of sharing my testimony in six countries on three continents and I know this is only the beginning. Trust that God has your best in store.

[quote] “They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.” – Revelation 12:11[/quote]
