So...here we go again...this time, everything is New, Inside and out..hey...hey...let me reassure you...EVERYTHING IS NEW! Yesterday, we had our regular Thursday meetings.About 35 people at our place heard what our friend Jairo shared as far as what God really wants for our lives...
He spoke about perseverance when faced when tribulation, he talked about how fragile our lives are...so therefore we gotta make the most (for our Lord) NOW....cause we never know what tomorrow brings...(Hey trust me i know you fell like you´ve heard that '42567 times, but that really touched my heart...why??? humn...God works in misterious ways...but in perfect and pleasent ways...), However the most touching fact was...when he compared the lives and ways of Martha & Maria...How one wanted to show service...(no...no...not only to serve) but give God her service...and the other...(Maria) wanted to give herself...praise and worship solely to our Lord.

Beware of refusing to hear the call of God. Everyone who is saved is called to testify to the fact of his salvation. That, however, is not the same as the call to preach, but is merely an illustration which can be used in preaching. In this verse, Paul was referring to the stinging pains produced in him by the compelling force of the call to preach the gospel. Never try to apply what Paul said regarding the call to preach to those souls who are being called to God for salvation. There is nothing easier than getting saved, because it is solely God’s sovereign work— "Look to Me, and be saved . . ." ( Isaiah 45:22 ). Our Lord never requires the same conditions for discipleship that he requires for salvation. We are condemned to salvation through the Cross of Christ. But discipleship has an option with it-"If anyone . . ." ( Luke 14:26 ).
Paul’s words have to do with our being made servants of Jesus Christ, and our permission is never asked as to what we will do or where we will go. God makes us as broken bread and poured-out wine to please Himself. To be "separated to the gospel" means being able to hear the call of God ( Romans 1:1 ). Once someone begins to hear that call, a suffering worthy of the name of Christ is produced. Suddenly, every ambition, every desire of life, and every outlook is completely blotted out and extinguished. Only one thing remains— ". . . separated to the gospel. . . ."
