I’m Out of Excuses

A long-time friend and colleague writes with intentional anonymity of someone he knows who lives and serves in very dangerous circumstances —

I know each morning as I am praying and studying, he has already been at the task and will stay at it longer than I will.

Additionally, I have watched him set aside a day or a week or a month to pursue the Lord’s will seeking to know the mind of the Lord. He is too busy to slack in this critical task. He has observed the shipwrecks of ministry over time and does all he can to maintain his intimacy with Jesus.

While he is a very studious, serious, devoted minister of the Gospel, he is quick to laugh, enjoys life and brings joy to others. He doesn’t take himself too seriously.

— I’m out of excuses, how about you?
