Wouldn't want to be anywhere else in the world

I've been reading Experiencing God by Blackaby as a devotional these past few days and I've it is a good read having not read it ever before. The book is able to express and reveal my feelings and understanding about God and life. Another quote:
Have you ever heard someone say something like this: 'I'm afraid to surrender totally to the Lord, because He might send me to Africa as a missionary'? Such a statement indicates a lack of trust and understanding of the love of God. He would not call you to Africa unless He know that such a call would be best for you. Many missionaries in Africa would not want to be anywhere else in the world. They love Africa and they know God gave them His very best when He called them there ... Never allow your heart to question the love of God ... He has been pursuing you in that love relationship. Every dealing He has with you is an expression of His love for you. God would cease to be God if He expressed Himself in any way other than perfect love!
Reading this I feel very blessed that where we are now--student missions and ministry--is an expression of His love for us. And indeed we "would not want to be anywhere else in the world."
