my heart is full of a million different things as i prepare for this year ahead.
Im not even afraid.
Im not afraid for funding. Im not afraid of the places I’m going.
people constantly say to me that what I’m doing is very brave.
That the places I’m going to go are very dangerous.
That is very true. But I’m not afraid.
at least for myself or my wellbeing.
Jesus is greater than any fear of this earth.
He is perfect in love, and perfect love drives fear out of doors.
Im overwhelmed with love for people that i haven’t met yet.
Im overwhelmed with love for the little ones that i will play and dance with.
Im overwhelmed with love for the people that are going to meet Jesus for the first time.
There are people living in darkness that i am going to meet. lost in idolatry, lost in brothels and bars, and owned by others lost in the same. Since i met Jesus, Ive been running into His marvelous light, and i want these people, even the ones that i may find despicable, to run there with me. Though i might not find those who enslave or kidnap worth much, i was just as detestable to God. But God in His grace rescued me from idolatry, and slavery and the ones who swept me away from real life. i was truly just as broken, and i am no where near attaining any sort of perfection, yet I’m running with all of my might to stay in step with my king jesus.
Im excited to be broken of who i think i am, because i dont always like myself. Yet, I love the man that i am when I’m living off of the strength of Jesus, rather than my own arrogance or pride. I never want to fully know me, i want to fully know Jesus. Because when i now Jesus and lean into Him, laying my life down, I am fully the me I’m supposed to be.
i want my life to display a lot more of Jesus and a lot less of me.
People need your love, your joy, your smile. find a way to love every second of the day. Perfect love drives fear out of doors.
Jesus is turning on all the Lights.
Don’t be afraid of the dark!
