why go?

i've been thinking about missions. i've heard the SM's tell their stories, I've heard sermons about it, and seen movies about it. it seems like a good idea to go with a cause and fight for it, to fight on the front lines for Christ. But where does this apply to me? Whats my cause? Why am I going?

I have always felt like it was a good idea for certain people at a certain time of their life. I know that I have been hearing about it for a while, but whats intriguing is that its been sticking recently. I have heard their stories before, but I felt that it never really applied to me at where I was at. It almost was like "Hey thats cool" then I would move on. But, now these thoughts about mission have penetrated my mind and soul. I really started to pay attention to it, and the possibility of going just fuels my fire to go. I can't stop thinking about it, talking about it, and praying about it. I'm starting to feel like its not just a dream, but maybe just maybe its a reality.

My cause is to draw near to God, and live a life of Worship, offering myself as a living sacrifice to the Lord. I want to do this, because God has promised that he will draw near to us, if we draw near to him. I want to live a life of Worship, because its just not enough to have a worship in the morning, or sing songs for worship. God deserves our lives, and I want to live my life for him.

Why do you need to go to fight for your cause? To answer shortly I don't need to. But I want to. I think it will build me up, and I will grow much more then I would here. I need to get out of my comfort zone, and push myself for the Lord. I want to let him use me.

This started applying to me personally recently, I started paying attention, absorbing everything there was about this. My cause is to draw near to God, and live a life of Worship. I want to go to get out of my comfort zone.
