Lord, send me anywhere only go with me, lay any burden on my back only sustain me, sever any tie but the tie that binds me to yourself...

David Livingstone

I have is used this quote many times before This quote reverberates off the chambers of my heart and has become a life prayer. It is more than a prayer...it is a scary statement....I begin to think of the ramifications of this prayer and I shutter with the grave situations that I might find myself in.

But pray it I do...why, because of what Jesus has done for me. There is a call from God that transcends comfort and convenience...a calling as it were, that defines and drives. I am not alone in this but I am afraid that many of us miss this. We, the church, are a movement of people call by and commissioned by God to be the hope of the world. We have a Calling that assigns us.

This is nothing new. The voice of God is heard calling thought out scripture...from Genesis to the revelation the call is from Jesus...this calling is intentional and intended for you. Everyone of you who have called upon the name of the Lord and are saved have been called to join God in His mission in the world....bringing His hope and peace, His rescue and deliverance...do the good that needs doing...love the ones who need loving...declare the day of the Lords favor...to set the captives free. This defines our lives...or does it?
