The other day I was attempting to take a nap, and the Lord laid this on my heart. I typed it out… then deleted it… then typed it out… then deleted it. I haven’t wanted to blow you guys up with this because I feel like its preachy but when the Lord lays something on my heart I gotta tell it.
There is no excuse as to why the world doesn’t know the name of Jesus.
No excuse as to why the entire world is not on their faces right now worshiping Him.
My heart is broken for these people– and it is just the first month. As we walk down the road people stop and stare.. some want to take pictures.. some are so dumbfounded that they won’t smile back or even move for a few seconds after. It was funny in the beginning.. but now it just blows my mind. Blows my mind that they haven’t seen anyone that looks different… We should be so passionate about our relationship with the Lord that we are sprinting to the nations to tell them what the Lord has done.
Whats your excuse..
Don’t want to lose your job?
Find too much comfort in your relationships?
Need to be near your kids?
Need your income?
Too old?
Too young?
Must finish school?
Scared of persecution?
Comfortable where you are in general?
Are you comfortable with the idea of standing in front of the Lord right now and saying you did everything in your power to reach the lost? If so, awesome. I sure as heck wouldn’t be able to. I feel like there are just a handful that could. My whole life I have been searching up and down for my identity and worth. My little freakin place in this world. Too obsessed with myself. Too consumed with what made me feel good.
ME ME ME.
He has smacked me down and put me in my place. He didn’t leave me there though. He picked me up and put me where He needed me. So here I am.
It should not be a big deal that I peaced out for a year though. It should happen so much that its expected. We are called to GO unless told otherwise.
I know that there are some who are convinced they are where they are supposed to be in the US. Thats awesome! But i want to challenge everyone to atleast share your story daily. If you think your story isn’t awesome enough… or boring… or whatever… check yourself. The God who breathed us into being rescued you out of your junk and is coming again– that in itself is something that should be on your mind all. the. time… why not talk about it?
There must be a revival in this sick world. No one is exempt from this. We will be held accountable.
There is no excuse.
