That sounds alot like a story I read about a man who lived in the days of King Jeroboam II. He was so well known that even Christ spoke of him in Matthew 12 and in Luke 11.

Anyway, God had a plan for him. (He did not like the idea at all) and in fact it gnawed at his very heart.

He was called to go to a group of people, and it wouldn't have been so big of a deal, but he just HATED going there.

(Kind of like me when my wife asks me to go into town to the store.)

But in the process, God showed him the great value of prayer and of thanksgiving.

He struggled at first. He struggled a great deal, but after a while, he turned out to be one of the greatest ministers of all time.

His name was Jonah.

She sounds like a nice girl to me, who is focused on herself, not on you, or the group, or God, but on herself.

............ What are you focused on my friend?

Her?
The Group?

.......... Yourself?,...... maybe?

Maybe, just maybe, God wants you and her both to focus on Him.


Are you up for the challenge?
