On The Front Lines

Linking with Charlotte at  Spiritual Sunday and Laura  Faith Filled Friday

"We all know it's brutal up there at the front, especially those of us at the rear" Frank Burns

I remember as a kid living in a tight Jewish community...coming home from school one day and seeing a missionary sitting with my mother....telling her about 'God.'  

I think that woman was sent to our home for a a purpose....I think she prayed for us......and I think God heard. When I grew up and my life changed.....I asked whatever happened to her. I was told....after she left us...she went to Africa to share her faith and died from some virus she caught there. 

Although I barely know what she looked like or what she had said to my mother at the time......I've never forgotten her and that somehow she -  a gentile, a missionary on the front lines in His service arrived at our Jewish home to shine His hope. I don't even know her name or who she was or where she came from. But I never forgot that woman and when He touched me, broke through the darkness of my life.....instinctively I thought of her. 

He knew....she would go.....and tell. He knew....she would make a difference whatever the cost.

There are people everywhere...soldiers on the front lines...making a difference....

So today...this post...is for all those unknown soldiers....on the front lines. And you know what - I want to be one of them! 

He's no fool if he would choose to buy what he can never lose...
