My wife Amy sent this to me. She is not normally one that writes or philosophizes, but she makes a good point here and this is something we can all take time to think about.
Recently, I listened to an evangelist speak about being on fire for God. He really challenged me when he asked, “If you knew that you were going to get $1,000 for every person that you shared the gospel with, would you be sharing more than you currently do?” That question really hit home with me. I am a pretty shy person so just having a conversation with someone is difficult. But, whenever I think about the fact that Jesus died an awful death on a cross for me, I realize the least that I can do is share his love with those around me, to take this match into a dark world and strike it so that others can see it burn.
Jesus never said that it would be easy. But, in those times whenever we are afraid and our nerves are consuming us, we can remember that it is not about our performance or how equipped we feel. It is about being obedient to God’s will for our lives. Our job is to plant and water seeds, God is the one responsible for growth.
Let God be your words, and never doubt His presence with you as you live in His will. He is right beside you cheering you on. We know this from scripture, so we can be confident that He will never leave us or forsake us. What an amazing promise.
