what's it worth?

::something i wrote while at passion conference::

How amazing is it, that so many people, different races, different places, different experiences, yet with the same heart and same passion for the one things that pulls us all to the same place, worshipping, honoring and adoring: God.

GOD...so righteous, holy and lovely--no man can comprehend! Why did he choose me? I.have.been.called. Called with and for a specific, divine purpose; a journey made special for me. A life called to serve only one God. Called to a life of righteousness, of purity, of courage, of persecution, of faith and of great reward. Will I accept? Will I crucify my flesh to take on a life purposed for me? How much am I willing to give up? What will I have to sacrifice? But why is this even a question when He gave up his everything for me? Yet, am I really willing? How much do I really love Him? True, honest and passionate, unselfish and committed love? Is it real in my life? Do I want it to be real?

Miriam,
I ask myself those same questions daily. You are a wonderful woman of God! I am glad to have seen the transformation of your life! You encourage me! Love ya!

Good questions to ask ourselves! It's important for us to be that direct in stating what's what about life and about our call from God. He loves you, and He's faithful to do what He purposed to do! (Don't know the reference there...)
