Ye have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you,
and ordained you, that ye should go and bring
forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain...
John 15:16a
God's plan for every Christian is to use him or her to the fullest extent possible as a "vessel of honor" in His hands...*

As we grow in Christ, and as our love for Jesus blossoms, we should at some point, I believe, come to an understanding that we've been called and chosen to join and army of willing and ready soldiers. We should be a well equipped host of spiritually prepared warriors, who, with love in our hearts and kindness on our lips, can share the gospel with our non Christian neighbors so that they too might be saved.
As the Scripture says, "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23)." Thus there is no one who has not sinned and broken at least one part of God's holy law. And since "all have sinned," all need a Savior.
With this in mind, therefore, I go forward into schools and on to streets to share the love of Jesus with people. I also walk through the corridors of this prison to tell them that Jesus saves.
I pray, too, that with strong faith my fellow Christians will seek to do the same. Yet in my flesh I am weak. Without the grace and power of God operating within my life nothing could be accomplished. I need His strength at every moment.
D.B.
*Becoming a "vessel of honor" is found in II Timothy 2:20-21.
