Honor His Gift...

Alright, I know that I haven’t posted anything for the past couple of days, but I have been having an ongoing conversation with a friend of mine(who also happens to be my accountability buddy and cousin) about evangelism. We realized just how little we are doing for the kingdom of God. We are good Christian girls who go to church every Sunday and are doing alright… wrong. We can talk about God with our Christian friends as much as we want(and that’s good!) But if we never follow through with the actions, its pointless faith. Reflections of Christ. That’s what we’re called to be. Not just with our words, but with our whole being. Living sacrifices. Look around you. When you’re at school/church/sports/work/etc. do you talk to the kid that’s alone or different, or do you go straight to your own group of friends? Light and salt. Why aren’t we more like Christ? Its time to step up. We are not too young or too insignificant to make a difference. When was the last time you volunteered to help someone you barely know? When was the last time you acted like Christ? We can do so much more for Him. What’s stopping us? Look at what He did for us. The least I can do is reach out to people I usually don’t. The least I can do is try.

Read:
Matthew 5:13-16
James 1:21-25
James 2:14-26
John 3:16

Challenge for a God centered life: Reach out to someone new this week. Talk to them, invite them somewhere with your friends, pray for them, just get to know them, and love them through Christ.

I pray that we do this with joyful hearts. Just think of what would happen if everyone gave their lives to Christ. No matter if it were uncomfortable, hard, frustrating, or all of the above. This is God’s challenge to us. Honor His gift.
