It angers me that I have to leave
the USA to see how ALIVE my God really is. It saddens me that amongst all the “things” we have stuffed
our God away and dressed him up in a business suit, a Range Rover and a 4,000squarefoot
house.
Despite what some people think, I’m not out doing
humanitarian efforts, I’m out doing one thing…bringing Christ to the nations,
my squad mates and myself. I’m not
doing selfless, kind and generous things so that I feel better and have
meaning. I’m doing selfless, kind
and generous things to bring others closer to God, to further HIS kingdom, not
mine. (Thankfully in the process
my life is being reconstructed to reflect more of Him too.) I’m not building homes and feeding the
poor to provide tangibles, I’m doing this so people can see God and as a result
have shelter and food. I think I
will call it “CHRISTITARIAN” work.
It’s really sad to me that in the US we think we have
everything when in reality many times we are far worse off than many. Most of the people I’ve met in the last
two months have only the money in their pockets and I’m in debt thousands of
dollars from school loans and our housing economy is upside down because people
bought homes they couldn’t afford…and we still think we have more money than
them?
We go to an organized service that is over in exactly one
hour on Sunday, watch our P’s & Q’s and forget to invite the Holy Spirit in
and call that a Christian life?
This was me before I left, and in many ways very much still is me, BUT CHANGE HAS STARTED AND IS IN FULL EFFECT…
I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH AND PRAY FOR YOU MUCH!
