I don’t know the full of extent of how God will use my blog
but I do know that I can speak truth here. One thing I want to get across is the idea of the
Kingdom. It’s so easy to use
America as an excuse and I definitely have my entire life. It’s true that people are more
accepting in other countries. But
when we get over ourselves and our insecurities and walk in the fullness of God
we can step out and be real with those who need the Lord. Being a Christian doesn’t mean you walk
by a set of rules or live upright.
It means you have eternal life and God has actually entrusted us with His
dream. It’s His dream for everyone
to know Him. We have accepted His
gift of Jesus but yet we just settle in that. We forget that there are millions of people who don’t know
that gift. I guess I’m just trying to say that we should always be desiring to encourage one another. We should have that desire to see the Lord’s Kingdom on earth. I’m wanting it more and more. I want to want to see people come to know Christ. Being in another country and witnessing people who believe in so many gods they don’t want another one to worship makes me realize how in America I take very few chances at being bold. Being a child of God means everything to me and in America I am so selfish. I share that joy by being kind to others and trying to put them first but I don’t dare speak the truth and say “Jesus loves you so radically.” I’m just now realizing how ridiculous this is and I can’t wait to get rid of that intimidation. I’m that insecure that I can’t share joy? I’m just figuring all this out on here so I hope it makes sense and isn’t super preachy. The Lord has just shown me how important each heart is. I know that there are so many ways to show the Lords love without ‘forcing’ it on someone but verbally saying it isn’t forcing it. It is just proclaiming that over them. Let’s proclaim more, yea?
