When James Calvert went out as a missionary to the cannibals of the Fiji Islands, the ship captain tried to turn him back, saying, "You will lose your life and the lives of those with you if you go among such savages." To that, Calvert replied, "We died before we came here."
How true this is...the minute I surrendered my life to the Lord, I ceased to exist. I live only to glorify my Savior. However, I rarely live this way. I let school, friends, really anything come in the way of this. I am human, I am a sinner..but thankfully I have been forgiven! May I live everyday for the Lord, sharing His Name and loving His children!
