And a vision appeared to Paul in the night. A man of Macedonia stood and pleaded with him, saying, “Come over to Macedonia and help us.” Now after he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to preach the gospel to them.

Acts 16:9-10 (NKJV)

This man was pleading for help and Paul rightly concluded that the Lord was calling him to do something about it. After hearing a person’s cry for help, what do you conclude? Do you see an inconvenience, a waste of time or a need for someone else to meet? God has called us to be His message of life to a world that’s dying. To live an ultimate life, you’ve got to be living for someone other than yourself.
