I find it so much harder to trust the Lord when I am in America. It is so much easier to trust Him and lean on Him when I don't have myself to lean on. When I am overseas it is just so easy to rest in Him because I couldn't make it through my day serving homeless, hurting, dying people without Him. But here...here it is so much harder because life is so much easier. Modern conveniences, people that speak your language, and family that is always there. I am not satisfied with a life like that. What fulfillment do I or anyone else get from a life like that?
He requires so much more of us because He has given us so much. For instance, I have a roof over my head, a comfortable bed to sleep in, food on the table at every meal (and anytime in between). I pray I never become comfortable with a life like that. I pray that I am meant for something more, something greater, not because I want people to look at me and my accomplishments, but so that they will look at God and see His glory and how mighty He is. I pray that God will give me a ministry here in Virginia that makes me live bent low. I pray for me and for you that we would never get comfortable with living our lives on my feet, but that we would always feel the need to live bent low.
