Live Your Mission…like Brittany
This week, I heard the story of 17 year old Brittany Bevin from Louisville, KY. She was killed in a tragic car accident. Her goal in life was to be a missionary because of her heart for people. About a month before she died, she had opened her first checking account. On that account, she had written only one check and that was to Compassion International. That was just the kind of person she was.
She also kept a spiritual journal. This was one of her last entries before she died:
God, you hold the only peace that can fill the deepest hole. Every week you bless me so much and teach me lesson after lesson. I know that once again you are showing me your love. I cannot fathom how You feel when one of your children suffers, but I have had a glimpse of your heartache. Please fill me with your wisdom that I won’t just watch others suffer, but that I will be able to say what they need to hear. As a new week approaches, my dangerous prayer is that you will place broken hearted people in my path and fill me with you, so that I can let your love heal their pain.
Brittany gets it. I am praying that our church would get it as well.
Can you imagine what would happen if we all prayed Brittany’s prayer every morning?
