Mission: Jesus
This past week I went on my first mission trip to Wichita, Kansas. To say the least I was a bit nervous at first.... Thoughts were running through my head; "what if I say the wrong thing" "what if I'm not ready" etc. I spoke to someone that I really look up to about this and he encouraged me with this scripture 1 Thessalonians 5:24
"The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it." And boy did he ever "Do it"!!! God blew my face completely off this past week! He gave me the strength and the courage to do things that I thought I'd never be able to do!!! I spoke to people I had never met before about their spirituality! If I can speak to people that I probably will never see again about their eternity then why do I find it so hard to speak to people I have close relationships with about their eternity? God gave me a brokenness for the lost this week stronger than it has ever been! I want everyone I come in contact with to know that I'm living for my Lord Jesus! I want everyone to experience the saving grace of Jesus Christ!! But someone has to tell them how they can experience this salvation and the love of a savior!!! I want to tell everyone about Jesus!!! Christ loves you and wants a personal relationship with you! If you will take that one step of faith and realize that you are a sinner and ask him to be lord of your life you can experience salvation that only comes from Jesus Christ!!Jesus answered him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God." (John 3:3 ESV)It's not about a certain prayer it is about total repentance and complete surrender to Jesus and then asking him to be lord of your life then living your life for him everyday!!! Live your life for him!!! Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. (Matthew 7:21 ESV)
