Gospel: means Good news;
further into the meaning is messenger; messenger of gladness.
Let’s be honest it’s been a rough couple weeks. Venturing out into this coffee shop though exciting; it’s scary. I think it’s mostly scary because I have to be so dependent on YOU. Yea I know actually I’m depending on the Lord but I think it’s fair to let you know that I do need YOU to take action. Money isn’t the source of my stress or anything. Honestly, if no money comes then we just don’t do it. That would be a clear sign we should be doing something else, right? I also believe God for the funds. His word says faith can move mountains. I don’t know if I have enough faith for that to happen but for now I have faith in this, in Him and the plans he has set before me.
When was the last time you read through one of the gospels? It hurts my head that something complex is simple. I’ve been reading John 14 and 15 and every read is something different. I’ve always been told that the gospel keeps life simple, we actually complicate it. The first verse of chapter 14 says “Do not let your hearts be troubled. Believe in God, believe also in me….”
Ok, Thanks Jesus…but how do I just believe??
I think sometimes you just have to take risks whether you fully believe or not.
John 14 ends as simply as it began…”But do as the Father has commanded me, so that world may know that i love the Father. Rise, let us be on our way.” Now, I’m not being told to do this; it is the things I’ve seen that I know some change must happen in the world. I must continue on my way. This way looks different than everyone else’s but I know it’s where I’m suppose to be.
CHOICES.
John 15:25. A psalm is quoted here: “They hated me without a cause”. Above this it says this had to be fulfilled. To me that sounds just crazy! Aside from being crucified; he was hated for no reason and it HAD to be done. In all the gospels there was always a choice. God consistantly chose US over himself. I know I’m choosing this but in many ways I’m not. In many ways it’s what I’m suppose to do. I know I’ve been appointed to something and Costa Rica is a path I know I’m to take. John 15:16 supports that.
So now YOU have a choice.
I need you to continue this partnership.
DONATE.
Don’t come back to it later; we both know that never happens…
