I love the way God uses people to encourage me. I have been feeling flat... can't really pinpoint why. I am, of course, intensely eager to return to Thailand, but on the whole I feel like I've been merely trudging through the days, counting down the sleeps, not really drawing nearer, not fully awake to the present.
But tonight God woke me up. A friend spoke words that ignited my passion for the salvation of others. He drew my attention away from myself and my plans and problems...he lifted my gaze.
"I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: 'The righteous will live by faith.'"
- Romans 1:16-17
