Isaiah 6:8 Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: “Whom shall I send, And who will go for Us?” Then I said, “Here am I! Send me.”

What would you say to God if He called you to be His servant to people who did not seem to want to know anything about God at all?

Would you be willing to change your lifestyle altogether just so other people could hear about God? Would you be willing to possibly give up your creature comforts to serve God?

We may all say “Yes” at first, but actually stepping forward and doing what God says is the hard part which some fail to follow through on.

Please speak the truth to those around you. Please listen to God and hear the truth. Please spread the truth. Imagine what it would be like to know people talked the truth once more!
