Go Ye Therefore

After a while, I stood side by side with the Lord at the brink of the courts, just by the gates and the towering doors, overlooking the outside of the temple. He showed me the vast expanse out there.

He motioned to me to see the world. I knew what He was telling me. He is sending me out. He is turning my eyes to see the world that He so loved, and He's telling me to go.

"All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

Matthew 28:18-20

He is reminding me, that there is a greater call, a greater purpose to my life than what I am going through now. Compared to the great commision, the everyday struggles of my life seemed trivial.

There is a greater call in my life, a greater purpose to fulfill.

Not that He doesn't care, but it's just that there is so much more than all these (John 21:15) So much more waiting for me to fulfill.

As I stood there beside Him, beholding the call for my life, my heart ached. I didn't want to leave this glorious place, the temple and His courts, and most importantly, His presence. But as I pondered over this, I hear His gentle voice to me again, saying,

"And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

There is so much more than life than all these. So much more.
