it's like you're the only one awake while everyone else is asleep during a storm.
it's like you're the only one with good cell service during an emergency.
it's like you have a map while everyone else is wandering and lost.
No, this isn't something for us to brag about, but something for us to use to help others.
We need to help those in the storm, those in an emergency, those that are lost.
We need to help those that are not saved.
There are so many people that are spiritually lost and hurting- who have not come to know Jesus.
As Christians we are the carriers of the Good News! We have a relationship with the God of the Universe, a God that loves us and wants to rescue those that are lost.
Friends, God has given us a testimony to glorify Him. Why do we hide our testament to him, why do we hide our God/our King/our Lord/the one thing that is most important in our lives?
Why do we let our loved ones live in their sin? No we should not condemn them, but we should not commend their sin either.
Why do we let those in our circle of influence sit in darkness, while we keep our faith in God to ourselves? We are the light! Jesus is light and once we accept him into our hearts he lives in us! We need to be a light for Jesus in the darkness.
We need to help those that are lost find their way back to their heavenly home. We need to come alongside them and help them get out of the storm. We need to go meet them where they are at just as Jesus did for us. We should not condemn them, as we are not the judge, but we also should not just watch as the darkness succumbs them.
Offer the light you have (Jesus) to them and let God take it from there.
