Read this from a colleague's blog. Incidentally, we managed to meet up in Perth - though the time spent was not long enough to catch up. If you reading this dear WL, have fun for us back here in school! :)
Today I heard from a YWAM (Youth With A Mission) teacher tell us about John, a Norwegian, who was in a missionary team that he led to Thailand. One day, God impressed upon the teacher to give a word to John, which he eventually did. So he went to John and said, “John, God gave me this word to tell you. You may think I'm crazy, but God said He has a wonderful plan for you. He's going to make you a great evangelist to the nations, along the lines of Billy Graham.”
John just looked straight into the teacher's eyes, expressionless. Then he said, “Yes, I know. In fact, you're the third person who's telling me this.” The teacher was floored that he had under his mentorship the next Billy Graham.
John continued, “But I don't want it. I want to go home to Norway, work as an accountant, get a nice house and live a normal, comfortable life.”
Today, John has acheived his dream, working as an accountant in Norway, living in a nice house. What a tragedy, missing out on God's glorious, wonderful plan for his life. Are you surrendered to God's best for you?
