There is a moment that makes everything worth it – When someone says the sinner’s prayer for the first time.
When it first happened 8 years ago, I literally couldn’t stop crying because of the unspeakable joy. I said to the Lord “God, I have no regret now if you take me now!” Right there and then, he answered me very clearly. “Chris, are you so joyious because of this one salvation? You will see many more souls being saved in the future because of your obedience.” 8 years passed, I have witnessed multitudes of salvations. But it still makes me teary as I see one soul crossed from the darkness into the wonderful light.
There were times which God decided to use and we had so many salvations happening week after week. It could be maybe my heart was became proud because of the success God has allowed to our group. For a while we didn’t see many fruits while God was realigning our hearts and attitudes. We have been repenting and acknowledge his Lordship over all things once again. Praise the Lord for his mercy as he send his precious souls and entrust us with them again.
I imagine the day I would see Jesus face to face. (I dare to!) As I see the smile on his face, and as he says “my good and faithful servant Chris..”
I know that every work, every tears, every perserverance, it’s ALL worth it.
