Do Not Fear

Every great calling has its challenges. We will have to overcome our obstacles of fear. It is common, especially those called to ministry. It comes from our insecurities, other people and events, or even the enemy of our soul. I’ve felt the fear of rejection, fear of what others may think of me, and the fear that God will not provide, to name a few. This third sabbatical reflection revolves around Isaiah 43: God exhorts us to have trust despite our fears. God gave me ample amount of times to pray with this passage and put it into practice. It reminds me to have faith in God because love always wins.

Come to Me

My second sabbatical reflection centers on the Cross. A key scripture passage that personally links to this theme comes from Matthew 11. This verse appeared throughout many prayer times during tough seasons. I suffered many trials, and I learned that the Cross carried me through those challenging moments. The Cross will inevitably find us, we who love Christ. Do not be afraid though, God will never allow us to suffer more than we can handle. When we suffer, we can surrender in a powerful way. This is part of our calling, but it is not the end.

Wait for the Lord

In my first sabbatical reflection, I have decided to reflect on a theme that has been very central in my life these past few years: waiting for the Lord. Prayer prepares the way for us to receive our calling. It was during a time of waiting that the Lord first called me to missionary work. I waited on God to reveal His plan for my life, and He provided.
