Quotes from the Heart: Obedience

Do you feel like you and your team were effective ministers of the Gospel this summer?

At the beginning, I did not feel effective because it just did not seem like anyone was really listening to us. Everyone was so devoted to Catholicism that they seemed to come to Bible studies only because we were a spectacle as a group of white girls. Then, I was reminded of Isaiah 55:11, where it says that God's Word does not return void. His Word is spoken, and it does exactly what He intends for it. It was humbling to realize that it was not about the specifics of what I do or if I think anyone is really listening. It is, however, about being obedient to God's command and trusting Him to use our obedience for His glory.
