Walking door to door evangelism in another satellite church. There are three satellite churches here connected with the main church in Teapa. We visited the second today in the surrounding community and spent time with the locals. We started talking to a man on his porch and asked him if he knew the Lord. He responded yes but only goes to church periodically. I just felt the Lord impressing upon me how important it is that we go regularly. Not just when we feel like it. Not just enough to get by. Its part of our commitment to Him and the Body. God just kept that burden on my heart. It seemed like we were fencing for a while. Seemed like the man was getting tense. So I just started conveying how much God loves him and asked him if he had any children. He said yes and that his mother and wife lived there. I told him how important it is that he sets a good example and that he is their head covering. He is the man of the house. He is the authority figure there. And God is his authority. He needs to not forsake the gathering of the brethren. At this point he took us out back to where his mother was and some other people. And I was drawn to his mother and the pain in her eyes. Her first husband is dead. And I just started telling her that God loved her. I tried to get her to accept that. Because she was despondent. I kept at it telling her the Lord loves her and cares for her and wants her to be happy. I kept looking her dead in the eye. And then she broke. And I just felt the Lord telling me that she is a wonderful lady of God. And then I started crying. I took my hand and wiped the tears from her eyes. And told her that God wants to wipe the tears from her eyes. I took her hand and wiped the tears from my eyes and told her that God wanted to use her to wipe the tears from others eyes. These are the moments that make the pain of my life bearable, to help others. Im just so thankful that God doesnt look at the outward man, but knows my heart. My natural man is junk. If you are praying for me, pray God will use me to reach anyone He wants. He will continue to grow me, guide and guard me, and mold me into Christs image. Im so thankful for the Lord, words cant express it. Pray that Ill stay strong, that Ill let God defend me, and stay humble. And pray that the Brown Team wins!!! Amen.
