In 12 days I am leaving for Kolkata, India. I can't begin to tell you the work that God has been doing within my heart to prepare for this trip. Reminds me of a purging or cleaning that must be done to be productive and serve a purpose. My heart is longing for eternal purposes-to be used by God to impact generations to come. Too often I get stuck in my own little "Sarah" world and I begin to worship my little idols, anything that I hold more important than Christ. I waste time pursuing things in this world that does not satisfy and does not truly last.
I am anxiously awaiting to see what God will do in and around us while we encounter hearts that are in desperate need. Desperate need for a true hope that does not fade. Not only nourishment for the body, but ultimately nourishment for the soul. Believing in Jesus among other gods does not cut it. Jesus is God. He is alive and well and is pursuing us daily. He is the giver of life, the giver of all that we have. What would our lives look like if we fully submitted to His ways instead of our own ways? Abundant blessings! Oh Father, have your way in me, search my heart and make it clean. Make my heart chase after you and you alone.
