I don't remember ever seeing this man before, but today, he got my attention. To many he's just a face in the crowd, but to me, he is an inspiration. Without fear, he said what so many are afraid to share. I do not know why it is so hard for me to share my Faith. Fear of rejection is probably the main reason. But, this man was not afraid.
When I was in the car, just prior to hearing this, I heard a story about churches that hold a special "bring a friend to church day." They were quoting statistics that only a small percentage of Christian share their faith. Now I know I am not alone.
So here I sit, blogging about everything under the sun, concerning kids yet fail to give you the one thing that matters, the one thing that can literally save your life.
Jesus, He loves you. He made you. Every little detail about you, He did that.
Life sometimes stinks....sometimes it really stinks! Those stinky things, those things that Satan is doing for evil, God is weaving together for your good. I know it doesn't all make sense, but it's true.
We stink, we make bad choices all the time. God is perfect- He can't co-exist with stinky things, so He sent Jesus (who is perfect) to die. To die in our place. That should've been us....but it wasn't. He did it for us because HE loves us. We just need to confess that "darn it we stink- we are flawed, we sin", we can't do this thing called life on our own. And ask God to help us and seek His will for our lives. So that we can change the way we live our lives and LIVE for Him. Which allows us to be in Heaven with HIM someday.
Please forgive me for being a wimp and scared to share with you the things that truly, really matter. And thank you God, for giving me the courage. May we all be bold like the Wegman's employee. If you have any questions about what I said above, feel free to comment or find a local church to help you out. We have no idea when our lives will end (I just lost a sweet friend- age 52 last week). Where will you go? Do you know?
