Freshly back from 10 days of intense World Race training camp the Lord has been working in my life as I attempt to process all that we learned and discussed.
One night as we were all sitting around a bonfire at Unicoi State park we started to discuss our fears about going on the trip.
What if a family member got sick?
What if someone died?
What if my best friend gets married?
What if I hate sleeping in a tent?
What if I miss the birth of nieces/nephews?
What if I can’t get a job when I return?
What if I can’t sell my house? On and on we went.
It was honestly overwhelming. Other people had what ifs I hadn’t even thought of yet, and I was pretty sure I had hit all of them! As the silence started to become deafning one small question stopped us all…
WHAT IF WE WERE GREAT?
Huh? Us, great? No way. We certainly hadn’t even considered that possibility.
WHAT IF WE MADE A DIFFERENCE IN THE
KINGDOM
OF
GOD
?
Seriously? Us? Was he joking?
WHAT IF WE STARTED A REVOLUTION IN OUR GENERATION?
Now there is no way little ‘ole us could possibly do that!
But, what if we did?
What if people all around the US started to wake up our sleepy generation and compel us to action?
What if lives were changed by the love of Christ?
What if we could take hope to unreached people groups?
What if there was a revival like never seen before?
What if I could be a small part of that revival?
What if the Lord rocked my world?
What if I became so passionate about others that I was moved to action?
What if I believed 2 Timothy 1:7 ”
For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline.”
What if I started to live like I believe it?
I truly believe that if each one of us started to live lives that reflected this verse the world would be changed. Embrace the spirit of power, love and self-discipline that God gave each one of us and see how your world is changed!
I dare ya.
