Accepting Christ is like getting an invitation to give your heart away, open up your mind, and expose the softness of your spirit. To release your heaviest responsibilities into the lightness of a Man without an individual body.
Wherever you go, wherever you turn, you can rest assured that you're taken care of, watched over, loved.
Some people roam the earth looking, searching, pleading for a taste, even if it's just a slice, a crumb, an iota, a touch of heaven, a touch of love of this caliber. You can't buy it, you can't earn it, and you can't socialize your way into it. You can only submit to it. Let it take a hold of you. Accept. Release. Follow.
And so a journey begins, a searching soul, ready to begin soul searching walks into a local church.
What happens next?
They meet you. God leaves a map in their spirit with directions to His Body, and it’s the church. The Church is you. You’re the sacred Body of Christ.
What happens next is up to you, Christians. Some may say, “that’s not my problem.”
“That’s between them and God.”
“I don’t know.”
But it’s important to remember that you’re a lot of people’s first interaction and experience with God. What will they learn about the Almighty Father through you?
Whether you believe it or not, your calling is huge. You can be considered a divine diplomat, representing heaven on earth.
If you feel a little pressure, don’t worry. It’s the responsibility of the cross we take up and bear everyday we decide to live for Christ. You can do it.
God sent his Holy Spirit to enable us to do the supernatural — to love in atmospheres of hate, to give when it looks like we’re going to run out, to forgive when it feels like we’ve been taken away from.
You can do it, by God’s grace. I believe in you.
Yes, you! You don’t have to fabricate light, all you have to do is open yourself up to be a transparent vessel, through which the Son shines.
Show your humanity. It’s part of your testimony, and it shows others how normal human beings can be used by a supernatural God.
I believe in you, and some people will believe in Him, because of you.
May God light your journey into leadership.
“so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another.”
~Ephesians 12:5
