Here’s what happens when you get that Holy Spirit heart beat like you need to share, but you wait too long… then the time to share ends… and you’re stuck without having shared the thought…
Today we had a time set aside for sharing in the city of Chiang Mai. It’s called evangelism, but for some reason I really dislike using that word.
It is also my least favorite thing to do (which is ironic since I signed up for the WR), and here’s why: The greatest thing you can ever tell someone is that Jesus died for EVERY person on this planet so that He can have a relationship with us because HE IS MADLY IN LOVE WITH US.
Every time I share, I feel like I have to put on this mask to pretend so that everyone knows how deeply in love He is with us.
And I definitely believe this to be true… but it’s a truth that’s stuck in my head and is slowly trickling its way down to my heart. It’s hard to share it, and know deep in my heart that it’s something I still don’t fully understand.
Side note: We had a speaker share last night that we were not only born to love others and glorify God, but what if we were born to BE loved?
Flash forward to today: A racer shared that God loves those who experience seeing many come to Christ, BUT HE ALSO LOVES THOSE WHO JUST GO OUT AND MAYBE NOT EVEN SAY A WORD JUST THE SAME!
Can you say mind blown? This thought is so counter cultural to what the world says. The world says that those who are the “best” are the most loved. BUT God says that He loves us all just the same! There is nothing we can ever do to earn His love, and there’s nothing we can do to lose it. I have never heard anyone in my life share that God loves those who just participate too!
So I wanted to encourage (maybe those who hate sharing in particular), that God loves you just as much as He does those who are the “best”. And when we continue to press in and go out, He is faithful to show us the fruit of those moments. Yes, there will be a day that I can say with full confidence that I know with all my heart that God is madly in love with me. And He wants you to experience the same breakthrough and fruit in whatever you may be experiencing!
Ps. Maybe this was His plan all along… that you would be encouraged to press into any challenges you may be facing knowing that God is faithful to bring you through it. Just talk to Him about it 🙂
