FJWL_02:227
         There has no temptation taken you but such as is common to man. Do you not think that the missionaries of the past have had this struggle, the battle to choose between staying with friends and relatives and those who are easy to communicate with, or going to the mission field?
         The most uncomfortable place for a Christian is a comfortable place. Yet so many now seek for comfort, for their personal satisfaction, to fulfill their own desire and will. Yet a missionary is one who has no desire of his own, no will but to please his Lord, no will but to please Me, the true Missionary Who laid down His life for the world.
         I have called you to go out into the fields, to go out into the highways and the hedges and compel them to come in. I have called you to go into all the world to preach the Gospel to every creature. I have not called you to settle down! You must search your hearts and see where I call you. In every country there is a need, yet in some there is a greater need than others.
         Many of you wander about because you seek your own will and not the will of your Father. I ask you now to search your heart, to seek Me, to find out what My will is for you, what My plan is for you, where I want you to be, so that I can fulfill the desires of your heart and give you complete and full satisfaction in My service.
         I have a plan for each one, and each must be in the place where I need him to be for the days that are ahead. Think not that you are lost and forgotten and that there is no plan for you. I have a plan and a purpose for each of you. But you must seek Me. You must allow My Spirit to rule over you, to win you, to help you fulfill the plans that I have prepared for you. (ML #3082)
