i asked a friend yesterday "What is something God is doing in your life today?" and he answered.. "what is he not doing? honestly.. is there a single thing He isn't doing?" and at first i was a little irritated about the fact that he didn't share specifics but as I got to thinking about it, i became overwhelmed... we need to meditate on even just that truth from time to time. not because of obligation.. but because we want to be mesmerized by our Savior at all hours of the day... for they are His..
and another thing occured to me last night..this must have been from one of the Paul Washer video clips I watched on the www.illbehonest.com website but i can't pinpoint which one, their all good and very convicting(i think it might be Know Christ, Know the Gospel). anywho, the Lord has been showing me that if I'm not caring for a person's soul, i don't love them... it doesn't matter if i am a missionary in calcutta for 50 yrs and do thousands of service projects.. and outreach.. if i don't share the gospel truth which has the power through the Holy Spirit to save them, i don't love them.. and those 50 yrs were worthless.. i don't want that to happen.. and i have to confess... for the most part, when i've approached others, caring for their souls has not been the thing on my mind.. God commands us to love our brothers and sisters as ourselves.. I've been doing as much as i can to "care for" my own soul, while missing the vital point that it needs to be shared. Christ is worthy to boast in every single day. so i know in thought what is vital for my life and the lives of others.. but what about the application? so that's my prayer request.. that I and every person who is genuinely a believer can be steadfast in caring for the souls of each being God brings them in contact with.
have a Blessed day :)
