"...a few of the lessons God has taught me for a proper perspective on mission: First, realize your destination: Jesus Christ. See Heb. 12:2. Your destination is not so much a geographical location; it is a Person. Whether you are a missionary, student, employee or stay-at-home mom, your destination is the same. HE is your pursuit. HE is the direction you are headed - and you can go there now... Second, realize your occupation: Obedience. (See Deut. 10:12-13). As long as you are obeying Hid command for you, you cannot possibly do anything more for the Kingdom of God. We often dislike what He commanded us to do, so we invent something far more interesting and then expect Him to approve of it, without recognizing the presumption and pride of thinking that our plan is better than that of the Sovereign God. Your job is to follow, not to lead, the Good Shepherd. Get very still before Him and learn to recognize His voice." - Rebekah Scheiman
