A Missionary's Struggle

Right now I am longing to be on African soil doing the work of my Risen Lord. There is a seemingly inexpressible loneliness in my heart that only God and other missionaries understand. I can find no words to express how much I long to be spreading the Gospel to and with Africans right now. When I am alone, I feel lonely. When I am in a crowded room, I feel lonely. Regardless of this, I do know that God is using me here. Wherever I am planted for a season, I know that I need to bloom in God's presence. You don't have to cross the seas to be a missionary, you just have to see the cross. Amen!
