If you have NO sense of Jesus at work in you, then take a hike.
Literally. Go for a long walk. Go sailing or surfing or for a run or to a long beach or out in the garden . . . anywhere you can get alone, really alone . . . & listen.
Wait & listen. Don’t talk. Don’t ask, explain . . . . just listen.
We’ve a lot of chatter in our minds and hearts, so it may take a while, more than one go even, but be with Jesus. Mark 3:14 Acts 4:13
The disciples had been WITH Jesus and were noticeably different for it.
When you have been with Him you can’t help but tell people!
I like to be nice. When I'm teaching or working with someone, I like to be thought of as nice.
The fact is, multitudes of people around us are going to spend eternity in hell . . .
and that’s NOT nice. That is not what God is about. 2 Peter 3:9
It’s not nice to live your life as if God saved you for yourself alone.
It’s not nice to be so spiritually immature that you’re no good to others.
It’s not nice to be more excited about your stuff than about other people’s eternal wellbeing.
Be intentional. Live intentionally because being haphazard puts people at risk.
The last, the least, the lost . . . who are they? Where are they?
How is Jesus responding to them through you?
We serve a God who redeems the past,
gives abiding joy in the present
and hope & purpose for the future.
Don't be religious. Be real. Live a life that tells people who you are, where you've been, who you've been with and that is open enough that they might ask you about it.
