My Flesh May fail, but God you never will

Today brought out many emotions. The mission team ran the first ever medical clinic in Brises Del Mar. Many people were helped, but it was the ones who were turned away that hit me the most. From a Child at age 2 who was dehydrated to the point of nearly dying in the medical teams arms to a kid who was badly burnt on the foot ( which would heal if he could keep it clean with purified water, but sadly doesn't own any) that is now open to infection, I had to ask God why? What am I supposed to do in this situation? Then it hit me. 

We come here as missionaries and build walls and heal the sick but what we forget to realize is that in the end, buildings will decay, people will get sick again, and water will disappear. So what's something we can give to them that won't ever leave? FAITH. To build a house for someone is good "work" but to build faith from God into someone is "mission work". 

So, when it comes to those we can't help physically, we must do what God has called his missionaries to do all along. Give them faith. In the end, our body will erode. In the end, our health won't matter. In the end, it's your faith that stays. The most important things is to make sure who you put your faith in. 

You can't put your faith into money, a spouse, a house, clothes, self comfort, shoes, or your health, because when it comes your time to leave this earth, if you've placed your faith into those things, you'll have nothing to show to God. All of those things would have vanished with the rest of the world. Place your faith in Christ for he never dies. He never runs out. He never walks away. He is eternal and therefore your faith shall be also.
