Send Me

A couple of weeks, I felt the Lord telling me, "Amber, it's time to get ready to go again." But it didn't make so much sense. I mean, I just started my job-a job that is perfectly suited for me (atleast while I am in America) and I am finally getting settled in. And, I don't feel ready to go back. I knew the Lord was speaking, urging me on, but still I doubted. I heard someone mention that "Jeremiah was suicidal"! Kinda random, but I wanted to know more. To read the book not just for the sake of saying I have read it, but to read it to know Jeremiah. So I opened it up--

Chapter 1
The Call of Jeremiah
Now the word of the LORD came to me, saying, "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations." Then I said, "Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, I do not know how to speak, for I am only a youth." But the LORD said to me, "Do not say, 'I am only a youth'; for to all to whom I send you, you shall go, and whatever I command you, you shall speak. Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you to deliver you, declares the LORD." Then the LORD put out his hand and touched my mouth. And the LORD said to me, "Behold, I have put my words in your mouth. See, I have set you this day over nations and over kingdoms,to pluck up and to break down,to destroy and to overthrow,to build and to plant."


It is the almighty love of God that constrains me, and in the midst of a keen consciousness of complete unworthiness, my soul cries out within me--Here am I, send me. By the grace of God, when the way is clear, I will go, obstruct who may, laugh who will, scoff who can. It is Christ Who was crucified and Who rose again and it is God who suffered so inconceivably to redeem man, Who bids me go.
