This is a selection from the book that God gave to me to write. The purpose
of the book is a listing of reasons Calls are broken and encouragement for
those with this problem.
The Broken Call
By God and His servant Kathy G.
Not me God!
If ever there was a reluctant preacher it was Jonah. Pulled kicking and
screaming to the pulpit and then pouting afterwards. He is so typical of
the Ones who run from Gods' will. The Ones who worry more about acceptance
or rejection of themselves in the worlds' eye than in the Truths position.
These are the same Ones who carry the torch but have lost the Truths'
standard or vice versa. As one distraught Saint said "What has happened to
my precious Church? I can't see it anymore. I can only see pieces of it.
It's like a shattered china cup." Did they ever really cherish it.?
Perhaps they never even knew It.
A treasures becomes cherished because some one repeatedly said "I love
It." Do you really mean it when you sing "I will cling to that old rugged
Cross"? Or, have you let the reason for the treasure grow tarnished?
Remember? It's, "Where the dearest and best for a world of lost sinners was
slain"?
Jonah was an established prophet, used of God. But this time the prophet
and his own prejudicial cover-up collided. He knew how to yield. He was
not unprepared. He knew exactly what to do and how to do it. But Jonah
dropped the Standard of God because of prejudice. Where then, did we find
Gods' WILL? Dragging across the bottom of the sea in the stench and slime
of some one who was obedient, a great FISH! The Will of God and the
Standard can't be separated. They are one and the same. You want to do the
Will of God? Then cherish the Standard and you will find submission is easy
when you.......LOVE to obey HIM!
Many of you can identify with Jonah. How many prayers were prayed where
you said "I'll do what you want me to do Lord." You carry the torch and own
the Truth. But if it came to a collision between backing the acceptance of
the Truths' standard and the rejection of yourself, how long and hard would
the battle be?
"Come now, Jonah. Let us reason together. For it is a reasonable
service." Is it therefore, really so surprising to find out that the thing
we don't want to do is, what we need to do to grow? How many times have you
said "I'll do it but I won't like it." (hear the pout?) Then afterwards
you wouldn't have traded it for anything?
Taking that spoonful of medicine isn't always pleasant. Our heavenly
Father thought it was good for us and that's all that counts. Let us now
open our mouths and say "Yes, Lord".
