Conviction!

"I don't want to do this again." Is the common phrase coming out of my mouth lately.  I always say, "I will if God calls me, but I don't want to."  (Loosely translated:  I will do it with a bad attitude and a cold heart, but I'll do it.)  I say, "Send me Lord, Call me."  "I will do it."  "Not my will, Lord, but Yours."  But do I mean it?  Do I mean ANYTHING You call me to Lord?  Or, do I mean, anything that works in my perfect idea of what I want.  This placement and possible loss has been a real "heart-opener." I have had to truly examine what I am holding onto where God is concerned.  Then this verse:

Jesus replied, "No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God." Luke 9:62

Need I say more?
