"Indeed, all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted." 2 Timothy 3:12

If I'm not living a godly life here, I won't be living one all the way across the world... If I'm not being persecuted here, I won't be persecuted there. Missions begins with the heart. Lord, give me zeal for Your glory.

a lot of things seem to be weighing down my heart...

"But as for me, the nearness of God is my good; I have made the Lord GOD my refuge, That I may tell of all Your works." Psalm 73:28
