Is It Enough

Every year I visit Mexico the same question haunts my mind: is it enough? Is it enough to visit a poor country once a year, participate in eye glass and medical clinics, sing a few songs, encourage the poor then turn around and go home to a life of comfort? Does it meet the quota one needs to meet to say “hey, I did my part”? Is it enough to ease my conscience every time I make another purchase of something I don’t really need?

The answer is no.

It IS enough U - for if you can touch even one person - you have touched God as far as He is concerned. The fact that you are aware of God's graces to you and your heart wants to do so much more than your life lets you, says so much about you. You are a blessing to more people than you know.

We can't ever do enough, and we can spend a lifetime beating ourselves up over it. Used to think we had to go to the mission field to be a good Christian. Then I looked at our children here at home, our granddaughter for example, who was molested, and knew, she was our mission field too. God has us in the place He wants us to be at the time He wants us. He uses us where we are at, even when we think we should "be in another place." B

I feel the same way. When we were working in Turkey I kept telling D that I really could do this full-time-- that I would love to serve long term on the mission field... I truly felt useful to the Lord.

I pray that you will truly feel God's pleasure as you work in Mexico this next week.
