I've been thinking, thinking about how short this life is. The Bible tells us that our lives are like a vapor (James 4:14), here and gone. But do we live like that? Do we live to make every moment on this earth count? Do we live to joyfully make God known to this broken world? I know that I don't.
It's hard, we're prone to get caught up in routines, schedules, just everyday life, thinking that we've got plenty of time to tell people about Jesus in the future. But we don't, and even if we did, I'd want to spend everyday of my life sharing God's glorious name and story of redemption to people.
So this is my plea, I am earnestly praying that God would help me to love people more, that He would make me bold. I am praying that throughout this I will be spirit led and I am praying for you, praying that God would give us the desire to do this together.
And so I challenge you, go out and pray for someone you don't know, believer or unbeliever, they need your prayers. Go out and tell a friend or stranger about the gospel, so that God can bring about hope. He will use you! Remember that God has commanded us to do these things. He has commanded us to go out and make disciples (Matthew 28:19). Therefore, when we do not do this we are sinning, being cowardly disobedient children. So lets come together and live out God's command in unity. Let's live as God has called us to, being bold children of God reaching out to those in need for someone to call them His beloved.
I am praying this not only for you, but for myself. May we be spirit led every step of the way. May we allow our fear of rejection and craven hearts to wholly surrender any doubts or fear that we may possess, fully knowing that God has prepared every good work for us already. (Ephesians 2:10) Let's be filled with the spirit in unity and let our lives be the overflow of that.
