You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.
Deuteronomy 6:5
At the beginning of this year, God told me that my primary purpose is to love Him and to be loved by Him. My prayer in response was, "May everything I do be motivated by love for You God!" And that continues to be my prayer as I go to Mozambique. I am going to Africa because I want to love Him with all my heart, soul, mind and strength.
In his book Jesus Culture, Banning Liebscher writes, "Your life is critically potent with the plans of God. The dreams ingrained upon your heart are resident there because God wants to use you to bring revival in the particular realm of society you are zealous about. In fact, God has set it up so that His dream of giving the nations to His Son as well as the dreams of His sons and daughters can only be fulfilled together. The passions of your heart are intimately and intrinsically linked to God's desire for nations being discipled and societies completely transformed! You have been set up for success. God is with you, and nothing is impossible."
My dream is to hold the sick, the broken, the hurting and the dying in my arms and to show them the love and compassion of Jesus. My dream is to bring light and life to the darkest places on earth. That is why I am going to Africa. I am compelled by love.
