You know what this world doesn't need? Me.
This world does not need me. They don't need me to tell them that they need Jesus. They get enough of that every day. What they really need is to see Jesus. They need for me to stop talking, and start showing the love that knows no ends.
Only God can save the world, so why should my mouth get in the way? Instead, why don't I just show Jesus in whatever way I can? I am determined to stop talking about a savior who is merciful and just, and instead start showing Him in my every day life.
This means praying for loved ones, as well as for enemies.
This means reading my bible and searching for truth.
This means declaring the truth I find.
This means not judging others, for it is not my place to judge.
This means loving people who are unloveable.
This means reaching out to those who are in need.
This means praising God for the good AND the bad, for it is all according to His plan.
This means letting God do work in my life so that others can see Him shining through me.
This means recognizing when God is working in my life, and praising Him for it.
No this does not mean that I will stop talking. But it does mean I will strive to speak truth. When I tell the world that they are sinners and Jesus died for them, I can almost hear the world reply "Tell me something I don't know." Instead, why don't I embrace the love that God has for us, share that love, and tell the world that Jesus lives!? Isn't that a cool story?
People say "I gotta see it to believe it." So from now on, I'm going to strive to let people see Jesus in me, so that they can believe and be saved.
And so it goes..
Good stuff. <3
