Last sunday our pastor shared about persecution and how godliness invites persecution, and on why must a Christian's life be marked with persecution. And as i listened, i know the Lord has answered me, and left no room for anymore confusion.He is calling me to live as Jesus lived, meaning persecution will always come after me. Most of the scriptures our pastor used where the very same scriptures the Lord has given me for the past weeks. And that night at praise & worship, i was crying & speaking to God, i was committing myself to rejoice and praise His name in the midst of suffering , pain or even death. God has lead me into a place of selflessness and surrender, knowing that my life isn't really mine but God's.

And as i continue to live here on this earth, i'll keep offering Him my days, and i'll gladly go to the ends of the earth to proclaim the Good News. It amazes me how God still wants us to work for His kingdom although we are not qualified, although we are full of sin and are not perfect. It is a privilege to live and to die for Christ.

The pieces fit each other perfectly, and i know God is calling me out to do His will. To give up my own desires and replace it with His desires, to sacrifice my comfort in order to reach out to the uncomfortable, and to go and proclaim His goodness & love. It is by His wonderful grace that i'll be able to obey him and follow His will.

Trials will come, temptations will rise, but His promise of never leaving and forsaking me proves true. I will work for my Master, and will continue to surrender myself to Him. He will mold me, shape me, discipline me and teach me. And in the midst of persecution i'll rejoice for i know it is His name that will be glorified.

Pray with me, as i continue to take steps...
