“For when I preach the Gospel, I cannot
boast, since I am compelled to preach. Woe to me if I do not preach the Gospel!”
(1st Cor. 9:16)
Following is a response to a former counseling
client who has texted me with a recurrent ‘thank you’ for all I have done to impact
her life. (And to be sure, I never tire of it, and am appreciative of her words).
“I often tell people I don't deserve any credit at all for having
impacted lives because it hasn't been a choice I have made. I am constrained by
the love of God to impact lives. I simply have no choice. I MUST do it. All
glory to the One who has loved us and gave Himself for us.”
Whether
‘constrained’ or voluntary, I am glad that the Gospel is being preached, and
that souls are being impacted for God. May our Lord help me, and all believers
to fulfill what remains of our destinies.
