It isn't easy being a Christ Follower. Everyday having to decide what I am going to invest my time in. Whether it be God or myself those are the only 2 options that I have. I cannot serve God and myself. By serving myself I am serving the world, which God has set me free from! SO I must commit each day when I wake up to seek His kingdom above all else. To get on my knees before Him and pray for His strength to carry me through the day. The way I live my life is a testimony to God. It is my act of worship. When I have something good I don't hesitate to tell those around me about it. Why is it so difficult for me to tell others about the amazing love of God? The amazing grace that He bestows upon us each day! I cannot waste anymore time I have decided. I am here doing the work of God, and even if I had an everyday job I would have the same expectations placed upon me. To tell anyone that I had an opportunity to tell about Jesus Christ. As I evaluate my life and my actions I am extremely disappointed. I have spent so much time investing all my money, effort, and time into superficial things. I cannot live like this anymore!! Many may be asking yourself what is this missionary talking about and all I can tell you is that these are the thoughts that a lot of Christ Followers always have. Always thinking of changing and never acting. The sad part is that when we think and we put action to our thoughts things happen. Can you imagine if everyone that has had these thoughts put into action what they think what the world would look like? How people would be helping one another and seeking God's face above all else! What a tremendous feat that would be. Well I may not be able to control other peoples actions but I can take responsibility for my own actions. When I don't act upon my thoughts I am just adding to the problem. We must have a burning passion to got God into the lives of everyone we meet! I will tell everyone about your righteousness. All day long I will proclaim your saving power, though I am not skilled with words. Psalm 71:15 This must be the attitude we start the day with. To proclaim God's saving power, despite our imperfections and faults God will use us. We must rely completely upon Him to do anything. He is our strength, our healer, our provider, the life giver, and the wisdom we need for any situation. It is all about us trusting in Him and His love. We must passionately serve God in all areas of our lives, including telling people about who He is.
I challenge you this week to just speak to 1 person each day. Someone new each day and tell them about the love God has for them. Center your conversation around your savior and begin to see how easy it is to love those around you by sharing God with them.
