Susan LaffertyNotes in the margin of my Bible. Next to Psalm 40:8-10. And words penned carefully on a back page.
Detailing an impression of His instruction.
“A calling to speak, proclaim, communicate, write. About Your righteousness, faithfulness, salvation, love, truth.”
Later, I express it in a succinct mission statement.
“To communicate Your glory in spoken or written word.”
Soul exhaustion sets in. Unexpected.
Byproduct from observing those who scorn the cross. And reject the gospel.
Stone heart resistance catches my breath.
So, I pray.
Make obedience a burden. Something to dread. Avoid. That’s what the world tries to do.
In today’s idol listings, personal fulfillment and independence rise up. Insisting we not be tied down. Or restricted by God’s commands.
“Too many requirements,” the world says.
