Day 41: 2 Corinthians 8 "Titus sent to Corinth"

I can feel the holy spirit in me, speaking to me.y heart is open to receive his commands and words but I always pray that this opem Jett will only receive the holy spirit, not the devil.

I love how the spirit uses these words to tell me something different but with the same message. the scripture is telling me about how believers went out o various churches to help them grow and grow the minsitry. it ends with a gift and giving generously, but that is not what my heart wants to focus on.

it is the message of going out to share one's zeal and experiences that really stuck out to me. I myself have gotten the call to say I will go (btw, that song is awesome). I will go, lord send me, to the world, to the lost, to the poor and hungry. take everything I am, ... I will go, I will go, send me.
I've always been extremely comfortable in my church, ecbc. I know the people there, I know how the church is run. I grew up there so I've seen it change, grow, go through difficulties and joys. I've always enivisioned staying in this community where I am comfortable but I think and feel I am to do what Titus and all the other zealous believers did: go out and serve others with what God has given me. it'll be uncomfortable and I'll long for my home church, but I feel God is calling me to do so.
I also know somehow that this is not to happen yet. why, I'm not sure, though I could always speculate, but I do know God will prepare me for that time. he equips the called not calls the equipped. therefore input my trust in him. there is so much life to live for him.

I love God with all my heart. I hate not having him with me, I cannot bear the silences when we do not talk, and I read with letters to me with love swelling in my heart. he never fails to provoke a reaction in my heart and I cannot imagine life without him. my first love.
