Simple thought for the day...

"Really, we don't have to prove anything to anyone else, we just have to live as we believe we are called to live." ~ Carl Wilkens

Just heard this simple quote while watching a video clip of an interview with Carl Wilkens.  He was the only American who chose to stay in Rwanda during the 1994 Genocide.  He stood by "his" people helping to bring food, water and medicine in a time when everyone else seemed to "run away" from Rwanda.  
Simple quote...but believing and living it could bring so much freedom!  How much time and effort we spend just trying to prove ourselves when all we really need to do is follow God's call whole-heartedly.  Even if what God called you to do seems "different" or if you encounter people who don't agree with what you believe God has called you to do.  God's thoughts about you and what you do are the most important!
