suffering?

Posted on by

Today, I learned about a tiny little nation called Comoros. It is an African nation, a little island off the coast of Mozambique. The largest religion of this nation is Islam. They have a population of almost 700,000 people. Sixty-seven percent of the population is unreached, meaning they have never even heard the Gospel. And that bugs me. It bugs me because it makes me question my life, my goals, my mission. It makes me wonder if I could go into a place like this and shine the light of the Gospel and be brave enough to withstand persecution? I have no idea. I have no idea what it is to be persecuted or suffer for Christ. Sure, people have scoffed at my belief and I think even refuse to associate with me for my belief, but that is hardly suffering, living in a great free nation like the US. Which makes me wonder,  would I trust God enough to be as open with His Gospel in a place like Comoros? I don’t think so. That is incredibly sad. And I have no idea what to do with that?

  1. Hey sister…
    I read your post. Something in particular caught my attention, and I wasn’t sure if I was supposed to speak on this or not. I pondered and asked God…. I did not hear a resounding NO, so here I am, speaking on this. What you said was, “But would I trust God enough to be as open with His Gospel in a place like Comoros? I don’t think so. That is incredibly sad. And I have no idea what to do with that?”
    What I heard when I read that was, sit on it. And then when I asked “what??”, what I heard was, Perhaps not at this point in time, are you comfortable with it, but that’s because it’s not time yet for you to do so.

    I hope that makes some sense. :o)
