Overcome Discouragement, Embrace Adventure


We grow homesick on mission in a post-Christian world, but there is encouragement for those who embrace the adventure.

Gandalf: I am looking for someone to share in an adventure that I am arranging, and it’s very difficult to find anyone.
Bilbo: I should think so—in these parts! We are plain, quiet folk and have no use for adventures. Nasty, disturbing, uncomfortable things! Make you late for dinner! I can’t think what anybody sees in them.
Gandalf: You’ll have a tale or two to tell when you come back.
Bilbo: You can promise that I’ll come back?
Gandalf: No. And if you do, you will not be the same.

God calls us to go adventuring with him. Isn't time we left the comfort of our hobbit holes and joined him on the greatest adventure of all?!
