Isaiah 6:8 Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.
Isaiah 6:9 And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not.
Isaiah 6:10 Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed.
Isaiah 6:11 Then said I, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate,

Yesterday I saw my wife put yellow highlighter to these verse then I asked what are you doing. Her answer is "I have the song ring in my heart quite sometime already". I told her that these verses are God's Word. And when you have burden in your heart it means that God is calling you but don't jump into conclusion until you have conviction.
I told her about my story that it is my heart desire to live the word out as I believe that God is calling I will take action. Many people even told me that "you are so impulsive", some just look at me and turn away. I realised that when God starts to call you and you just know you would like to boast that God the creator of heaven and earth communicate with you people will not blieve that. I know that sometime I talked too much untill it become my stumbling block and want to give up. Faith in God has difference levels. We read the same book "the Bible" but we percieve the interpretation differently.

1Corinthians 1:17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.
1Corinthians 1:18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.

This appears to be true for many people who are so rich, powerful. Especially moral teachers many try to keep what they teach either right or wrong they decieved themselves. I have this experioence before "Good News" revealed the truth then that truth has set me free. The only truth in this end-time is He is the way, the truth and the life. That He is Lord Jesus I will not know and understand this until we open our heart and accept Him as our Lord and Savior. After we accept this 2 basics and then we will know that only Jesus is enough for all things in our lives in this world.

I invite Lord's prayer for us as a basic truth what He really means to us.

John 17:6 I have made your name known to the men you gave me from the world. They were yours, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word.
John 17:7 Now they realize that everything you gave me comes from you,
John 17:8 because the words that you gave me I have given to them. They have received them and know for sure that I came from you. And they have believed that you sent me.
John 17:9 I am asking on their behalf. I am not asking on behalf of the world, but on behalf of those you gave me, for they are yours.
John 17:10 All that is mine is yours, and what is yours is mine, and I have been glorified in them. John 17:11 I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by your name, the name that you gave me, so that they may be one, as we are one.
John 17:12 While I was with them, I protected them by your name that you gave me. I guarded them, and not one of them became lost except the one who was destined for destruction, so that the Scripture might be fulfilled.
John 17:13 "And now I am coming to you, and I say these things in the world so that they may have my joy completed in themselves.
John 17:14 I have given them your word, and the world has hated them, for they do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world.
John 17:15 I am not asking you to take them out of the world but to protect them from the evil one.
John 17:16 They do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world.
John 17:17 Sanctify them by the truth. Your word is truth.
Joh 17:18 Just as you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world.
John 17:19 It is for their sakes that I sanctify myself, so that they, too, may be sanctified by the truth.
John 17:20 "I ask not only on behalf of these, but also on behalf of those who will believe in me through their message,
John 17:21 that they may all be one. Just as you, Father, are in me and I am in you, may they also be one in us, so that the world may believe that you sent me.
John 17:22 I have given them the glory that you gave me, so that they may be one, just as we are one.
John 17:23 I am in them, and you are in me. May they be completely one, so that the world may know that you sent me and that you have loved them as you loved me.
John 17:24 Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am and to see my glory, which you gave me because you loved me before the creation of the world.
John 17:25 "Righteous Father, the world has never known you. Yet I have known you, and these men have known that you sent me.
John 17:26 I made your name known to them, and will continue to make it known, so that the love you have for me may be in them and I myself may be in them."

Amen. Do you see that how much God loves us?
