Selfishness

I am flabbergasted with the home we had to finish today. To put it bluntly, the team that built it didn’t care about their work. They were concerned with checking off the “Mission Trip” box on their checklist instead of doing the work that God has commanded to do. I won’t go into detail, but it’s suffice to say that I was embarrassed by the structure that we discovered. It couldn’t even be called a home since the windows and door were never installed. We did the best we could to give the family the home they expected. I hope it is enough.

I was called selfish because I referred to this trip as my mission. Maybe I am, but if I don’t have the passion for this trip, then what good am I? Without passion, my work would be crap. If I am to be effective, I need to be on fire for God. I want to do what God wants me to do. If that’s selfish, I’m ok with that.
