Are we truly living the way Christ has called us to live?
God has called us to die every day and to carry our cross daily.
How many of us can truly say that we do that?
I do not. I would like to say that I do but sometimes it’s so hard to
be the Christian and stand up for Christ and yet God never said it was
going to be easy.
I just finished reading the book I would die for you, which is written
by the parents of BJ Higgins a boy that died because he served the
LORD. BJ was on fire for God and everyone that knew him knew that he
loved the Lord and whenever he had the opportunity he would be sharing
about Christ’s Love. He traveled down to Peru one summer on a mission’s
trip and got sick but they just thought it was the typical
exhaustedness from a mission’s trip but when he returned home he did
not get any better. He digressed rapidly and ended up in intensive
care. But through all this the body of Christ was united in prayer for
him. That was what BJ had always wanted was for the body of Christ to
be united and they were becoming united over this boy and his illness.
BJ died but God was given the glory. The doctor’s report said that he
should not have lived as long as he did but because of prayer he did so
that others could be reached for Christ.
We need to die daily and share the love of Christ with everyone no
matter where we are. We don’t need to go on missions trips to other
countries or even other states in order to God’s work. Your mission
field can be your city, town, even your workplace. WE need to reach out
to the lost in the world because they are so many that are so very
lost. We must start a revolution that spreads like wildfire throughout
the nations and share the Gospel. I just think of the song that we all
sang in Sunday school when we were little kids, This Little Light of
Mine. How in the song you sing hide it under a bushel NO I’m gonna let
it shine. How we need to let our light shine no matter where we are or
who we are with. Satan is on the prowl and we need to band together as
the Body of Christ and share his love. We are all brothers and sisters,
we are all the body and we need to start acting like it. Everyone is so
very judgmental and sometimes even cliquey where we don’t want to be
open to other people but we need to unite as the body of Christ and do
his work. WE need to go out to the ends of the earth but we also need
to reach out to our neighbors because they also need God’s love.
I hope you all take this summer as an opportunity for sharing God’s
love with others and that we can start a revolution that spreads. Pray
for each other, have fellowship, let us become the one body of Christ
and reach out to others.
I love you all and am praying for you this summer.
John 15:13 Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends.
Are we willing to die for him?
