I know...I'm challenged by it every time Jim preaches it...which is often. But, it's good that I can hear his messages over and over and still find that God's word is powerful...and I'm always challenged by it!
It's good to think about when someone has treated me unfairly...and helps me to remember to respond correctly. ;)
Jim gives the examples of Elisabeth Elliot (how she went back to the Auca indians after her husband was murdered by them) and John Leonard (how he is back in Brazil after being shot).

My Story
There I was, living life to my perspective of the "fullest"; active in my local church, involved in a post-college singles ministry, working at a Christian college, praying for God's direction, when BAM!!!
I married a missionary.
My life has since changed significantly, dramatically, irrevocably, forever. Daily I trudge through the mud and muck of change, and daily I realize the commitment I made was completely and utterly HUGE. I am a missionary's wife. Going into this marriage was a joyful event and each event that has followed has been just as joyful and a little bit surprising. Follow me through the momentous occasions of missionary wife-hood. (Note: it's actually pretty normal...so far.)
Missionary wives, missionary wives-to-be, single women involved in or contemplating involvement in missions and anyone interested in the experience of a woman in missions is invited to join me.
I'm about to embark on a journey of choice - a choice to serve God in the demanding capacity of ministry and in the daunting yet delightful service of missions.

Good reminders, huh? :)
