In my last blog I talked a bit about Discipleship. I defined it a bit and praised God for my parents and the way they have discipled me for 26 years of my life.
When I look at the world, it’s needs and my passion in life, I can begin to see where they intersect.
I have had an amazing and blessed childhood growing up that has continued through today. I get to look back and see that I have been surrounded by an amazing Christian family, parents, brother, grandparents, aunts, uncles, friends etc who have influence my life in so many positive ways.
Then I see in this world those who have not had those things. People who did not have loving parents, who came from split homes, had abusive fathers and men in their life that treated them like they were nothing, children who had no home and no partents. And these situations break my heart.
I saw this all while traveling on the World Race and even now here at CGA, I see the effects of what happens when people have grown up in those sorts of situations. It creates wounds, hate, regret, shame and on and on. It becomes a window for satan to come into their lives and speak death over them.
This is where I realize my passion lies: To Love, Serve and Lead others in Christ and to be an example of what it means to be a Man of God.
– For the men who truly don’t know how to be a man of honor.
– For the women who know nothing but abuse and disrespect from men and need to see what a true man is.
– For the children to be loved unconditionally by a Father.
– For eveyone to know their value and worth because they have a father in heaven who loves them so much and wants the best for them.
I don’t know exaclty what that will look like in the months and years to come, but I know that the Lord will be my guide in whatever He has planned for me.
