“But what am I supposed to DO?!” This exasperated answer was in response to my admonition to BE what God was calling her to be, allowing God to reveal, in His own timing, what she was supposed to DO.

Matthew 28:18-20

The same emphasis is put on the word “go” in all the images I see of the verse. Like this one:
Putting emphasis on “go” is so very inspiring and yet...so incomplete.
