God Sent Me
Illustration★★★★A missionary was sent to a difficult and unresponsive field. For years he worked, prayed and preached, with negligible results. When a visitor to his field asked how many converts he had, he was told a very small number. “Why do you stay here?” the visitor asked. The missionary replied, “Because this is where God sent me. He wants me to stay.”
