"The concern for world evangelization is not something tacked on to a man's personal Christianity, which he may take or leave as he chooses. It is rooted in the character of the God who has come to us in Christ Jesus. Thus, it can never be the province of a few enthusiasts, a sideline or a specialty of those who happen to have a bent that way. It is the distinctive mark of being a Christian." -- James S. Stewart
And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.--Jesus Christ
"Missionary zeal does not grow out of intellectual beliefs, nor out of theological arguments, but out of love" -- Roland Allen "
'Not called!' did you say?'Not heard the call,' I think you should say.
Put your ear down to the Bible, and hear Him bid you go and pull sinners out of the fire of sin. Put your ear down to the burdened, agonized heart of humanity, and listen to its pitiful wail for help. Go stand by the gates of hell, and hear the damned entreat you to go to their father's house and bid their brothers and sisters and servants and masters not to come there. Then look Christ in the face -- whose mercy you have professed to obey -- and tell Him whether you will join heart and soul and body and circumstances in the march to publish His mercy to the world. -- William Booth, founder of the Salvation Army
How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! --Jesus Christ
hehehehe!
Is there ever a girl that doesn't wish to be loved? We all have this terrible thing where we want to be loved and accepted so badly. That we put ourselves way out there, and in doing that we get hurt far more then if we had kept to ourselves.
It's so hard to keep within me the desire. But is it right to let the desire of wanting to be loved out? My heart is already taken. I can't take it away and give it to someone else, until I have that persons permission, because my heart is not my own anymore. It's Jesus'! He claimed my heart long ago.
What girl doesn't dream of "Mr Right". Oh, I do! I want my guy to be tall, chocolate brown eyes, dark hair. I want him to be sweet and respect me. No smoking, no drinking! I want him to be pure! I want him to Love the Lord as much as I do and maybe even more! I want to be best friends with him. I want him to have a desire to be in the ministry. I want him to have a desire to homeschool. I want him to enjoy kids. So many other things I would like to have in the ideal "Mr Right". But I want him now!
Surely I'm not the only girl in the world that desires to have a guy now. But oh how wrong our feelings are! We have no right to give away our hearts to every tall dark and handsome "Mr Right".
Oh I won't say... AGE MATTERS!! You can't date until your this age or this age... no no... I'm not llike that. I believe that when it's God's timing you will know. You will know that this is the person the Lord wants you to spend the rest of your life with. You will have no doubts at all. It's not the age... it's the maturity level... it's not the age it's your relationship with the Lord... it's not your age it's what the Lord has for you to do before you get married.... it's not your age.
Sometimes we get so caught up in ourselves that we forget the Lord wants us to do other things before persueing a relationship. I've been guilty of rushing ahead a few times. When we rush ahead of God we seems to stubble and get hurt.
Waiting is the hardest! But like the little Kitten.... we should keep our hearts asleep to the romance of things, until the time when Jesus awakes our heart.
Oh How I struggle with this at times. It's hard, not haveing someone to pamper you and love you and adore you. It's hard not having someone special. But we hard growing up to do, we have service for the Lord that we have to do, before we get invovled with "Mr Right"
I just pray that the Lord will keep my heart pure. It's not just the physical part of it... it's the emotional part. Girls are so emotional. We get so attached! When we give our heart to someone it's like giving our body to him.... same effects. We feel hurt, and abandoned.
There is only ONE Mr Right... Don't you want to save your heart for him? Don't I? I now that I do... but at times it's so hard... so tough... to resist. When everyone around us is in the middle of a "relationship" but how long will this one last? A week? A Month? If they are really trying hard a year?
I seriously have to pray every time I go out of this house... "Lord, keep my heart pure. Help me while I'm out" Just a hott guy walking past can get our heads going. Is that keeping our hearts pure?
I'm so glad I have a forgiving God. Or I would have screwed the entire thing up LONG TIME AGO! I really believe he has sometihng so special for me! Because he's kept me from making some really stupid mistakes! My "Mr Right" gonna be one AMAZING GUY! LOL... I'm praying he'll have melted chocolate brown eyes! 
mmmmmm... 
Lol... the Lord is Good! He knows even our little desires! May God Bless and Keep you!!!
