“For I consider my life worth nothing to me. My only aim is to finish the goal Christ gave me, to testify to the good news of Jesus Christ.” ~Acts 20:24

I still dislike blogging. A lot. I find it hard to be personable while staring at this computer screen…I’d much rather talk to those who may read it face to face because I have all of these fears running through my head…

“what if they get the wrong impression of me…”

            “What if they judge my writing…”

                                     “what if I don’t get my point across..”

“What if I seem fake or plain old stupid…”

Then I take a step back and realize that I’m not perfect and I don’t have to be and me being perfect wouldn’t help glorifying God anyways. 

If there is anything I want to be seen through my life is that YOU are loved. And I’m never going to be able to love anyone as much as they deserve and certainly not as much as Jesus loves them. That doesn’t stop me from trying though. 

The verse I have at the top mentions about spreading the gospel and I wondered for a while what that meant…hoping it didn’t mean standing on a box in city screaming scripture at people. And through prayer and just trying to understand the heart of Jesus, I think I grasped a little bit of what it means. 

I notice a lot of christians loving people frantically and nervously. They want so desperately for people to know Jesus yet a lot of people don’t take time to know the person they are talking at. 

 

1 Corinthians 13:4~Love is patient

Love is patient. 

Part of spreading the gospel is about having patience. Having the willingness to just sit with people, may be have some coffee (I’m not a coffee person), talk about life and be honest about yourself. Love the people around with His love and I guarantee He will be glorified. 

When you live for Him in all the things you do, when you wake up, go to work, speak with strangers all the while keeping your focus on Him, people will notice and they will want that joy you have. The joy that endures through hard times and trials. So the point of this post : Spread the gospel with your life.
