GO OUT

Go out.
Be a Christ Bearer.
Build My Church.

Go out in Trust.
Abandon the preplanned speech,
the pride that fears ridicule.
I will put My words into your mouth.

Go out in Courage.
Leave the comfort of your chosen destination.
Look only for My guidance.
I will lead you.

Go out in Hope.
Let go your desires, your plans.
Just plant the seeds.
I will make them grow.

Go out in Fervor.
Let your light shine;
let the love in your heart warm the world.
I will set your heart aflame.

Go out.
Be a Christ Bearer
Be My presence to our world.
