Dwyndl Nelms and his family are great friends to Cyndi and I. In their monthly newsletter, Dwyndl wrote the following thoughts...
I felt led to share a lesson that God taught me recently. It came when I was studying through the Gospel of John.
In Chapter 21 Jesus restored Peter after he had denied Jesus 3 times. He then told Peterthat he would die a terrible death. Peter looked around, saw John and asked, “What about this man?” To which Jesus replied, “If I want him to remain alive until I return,
what is that to you? You must follow me.”
What a lesson for a Christian’s life. I have to follow God where He leads me. I can’t worry about where He is leading someone else. It is easy to look at other people and other ministries and think, “Why don’t they see what I see?” But maybe they are seeing what God has for them and it could be totally different than what He is showing me.
I have friends serving as Missionaries around the world and each of them consider their part of the world and their Ministry to be the most important work in the world. And I feel the
same about Nicaragua, but honestly, all of God’s Ministries are just as important. God has
placed Nicaragua on my heart in a big way and that makes it more important to me, but not
everyone feels the same excitement or desire to be a part of it. Others have a calling that
is just as important to them, because it’s from God.
Don’t look at me and say, “What about him, Lord?” You follow God! And I can’t look at you and say, “What about them?” I must follow God. Regardless if others see this need or not, I must be faithful to go where He is leading me. Thank you to everyone who sees the importance of reaching Lost People in Nicaragua. Please pray for others doing what God has asked them to do here at home and around the world. Glory to God!
