because you should know

Have you ever just known something?? You know? Just felt it. With all of you? No doubts? Nothing would hold you back? Like... I always knew I would be a momma. Just knew it. It was who I was made to be. Maybe for you it is something else? A job maybe?? It could be anything, but the feeling is the same. You just know it. There is no way around it. It - whatever it is - is who you are.

That is how I feel about missions. But why? Why? Why? Why? Must I serve God in this way?

Well first let me tell you why not! It surely isn't because I am super-human. Nope. (I know you are shocked... stay with me here.)

It is also not because I am super-spiritual. (Did I hear you gasping? lol.)

Nope. The simple fact is that I am not any different than anyone else. I am just me. Just regular old me.

This is the reason. God loved me first. He loved me to death. Death on a cross. Death on a cross so that I would not remain separated from His love for eternity. This is why I HAVE to serve God in this way:

"This is real love—not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins. Dear friends, since God loved us that much, we surely ought to love each other."
1 John 4:10-11 NLT

So because you should know... I tell you. I know His love and I am brokenhearted that others do not. See once I came to know His love for me in this way I just couldn't look back. I have to do this... I have to share it with those who need it most. The Bible-less.
