CHOICE No.1- Following the call of God.

I can still vividly remember the night in my bedroom as a teenager when I committed my life to Jesus. In a cold and dark room, with my old valve radio fading in and out, I focused on what I had recently heard about Jesus. Not for a moment did I ever doubt he was Lord and Saviour, and that night as well as giving him my life I knew I was being called to share him with others. God appeared to me as a blinding light and an intense warmth, and that encounter has been what I have built my life on. Early on I believed that meant I would have to be a minister/vicar/pastor, and although I've only recently attained that title, I've found many ways to serve Jesus in the intervening years and to share Him with others. Despite all my weaknesses, occasional disobedience, sometime hardships, what has kept me going is the absolute conviction that all those years ago God chose to invite me into His story and be part of an incredible adventure. An adventure full of responsibility, privilege, joy and fulfillment. My inspiration comes from the Apostle Paul before King Agrippa in Acts chapter 26. Paul says that Jesus appeared to him and said:

Now stand up! For I have appeared to you to appoint you as my servant and my witness. You are to tell the world about this experience and about other times I will appear to you. (Acts 26.16)

And then Paul sums up his conviction and determination:

 “And so, O King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to that vision from heaven." (Acts 26.19)
