As I’m traveling today to California for my spring break I can’t help but think about all the traveling Ill be doing in 6 months! Will I be sitting in between strangers like I am now? Will I feel more comfortable talking to new people and sharing the good news of the gospel? Are people going to interrogate me for loving Jesus? Will I be a part of saving someone? These questions replay over and over in my head when I think about going on the World Race. But today I was struck with a response while thinking that the people I meet on my trip are not the only people broken and without Jesus.
The people I interact with and meet everyday and everywhere are also ones that may be suffering or need love in their life. I have come to realize I’m already on the mission field and whether I am in my hometown or in a village in Africa I need to be comfortable with sharing my faith. I need to show God’s everlasting love to all people of all nations for we all are called to do so. So I pray that whenever I travel and wherever I travel God can give me the courage and strength to be the hands and feet of him. the thought excites me to be able to freely talk to someone about how God is working in my life and the wonderful blessings we all share With God on our side. I am just so excited for any day and any situation I can talk to someone about him!
Though I am free and belong to no one, I have made myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible. To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law), so as to win those under the law. To those not having the law I became like one not having the law (though I am not free from God’s law but am under Christ’s law), so as to win those not having the law. To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some. I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings. 1 Corinthians 9:19-23
