i went to passion conference to start off the new year and i'm still processing it all and oh my goodness...the stuff God keeps putting in my mind and on my heart....i cannot begin to explain without jumping up and down my joy i have...the heartbreak i have...it's incredibly unexplainable...
WE HAVE GOT TO DO SOMETHING NOW!!!! There are children starving...there are families in poverty...there are people getting fired from their jobs and people getting divorced daily. We have so many opportunities to put a check in an envelope and send it to an organization and have them take care of it...which is so good! BUT...what about those who are in our own neighborhood...our own city....those living on the streets...those struggling to get loans to pay for their house...what are we going to do about our own city. Jesus is on the move..and it's not just around the area of common injustices like Haiti, India, Africa...He is in our own city trying to restore our own living areas!!! There are homeless people who hold signs asking for work...or money. No matter how drunk, how high, how mentally ill they are...the face above that sign is a HUMAN. Jesus was a HUMAN..He lived on this earth..he died on this earth...that is what we are doing people!!! We have the same opportunity to teach people the word...to share the love and to GIVE HOPE!!!! And that hope isn't through giving people money and sending them on their way..that Hope is Jesus and showing them that they have a PURPOSE in this world....people we cannot sit and wait for our neighbor to do something!! We have to do it NOW...however you choose to do it...it doesn't matter how small or how big just DO IT....
i'm pumped and i don't want this fire to die down so better believe i'm grabbing people and bringing them with me :)
