Costa Rica was our hardest month yet. We have all been punched in the face by Jesus.
I think the result of this was due to our expectations of immediate fruits and acceptance as the wonderful missionaries. El Salvador was beautiful for many things, and we grew into such a great group. To where we could encourage each other all the time and everyday. We laughed and cried and lived our lives with joy. For me personally all those emotions we man made and built in response to the fruits that we saw immediately.
“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. 22 Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform manymiracles?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness.’
There was such and absence to the Law, in which Jesus says the greatest of the law is to love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and strength. And although we were being used and God was changing lives, our hearts we not all for God.
The only one we can love greater than ourselves is God, and to love is to know, so we must know God greater than ourselves. Who can say that reigns true in their life?
But Costa Rica is where we meet the Holy Spirit, and he scared us. and we needed Him. We have Him… LOOK OUT PANAMA!
