What sacrifices are you willing to make for the gospel? Are you willing to sell all that you own and move half way around the world to share the good news. Thousands of missionaries have done just that. They have uprooted there families and moved across the planet to reach people groups that God has laid on their hearts.
Why are so many willing to make this kind of sacrifice. Because the good news changes us. It gives us a second chance and a third and a fourth. The good news is that Jesus came to sacrifice his life for us. So that everyone in all of humanity could be forgiven. We sacrifice because he sacrificed. The gift he gives is unmatched.
His forgiveness gives us the opportunity to have relationship with Father God every moment of every day. A line of He Lives by Nicole C. Mullen says “I talked with him this morning” because she did, because I did. Having a relationship with Jesus is more than accepting his sacrifice and forgiveness. It’s the opportunity to talk with God every moment of everyday. We just have to listen.
Sometimes he’ll just remind you of the little things in life like to stop and smell the roses. Sometimes the big things like asking you to move half way around the world. Whether it’s big or its small you have to talk to him to know. You can’t build a relationship without conversation. The faith to do the big things comes from the days of talking about the little things.
Start the conversation, read your bible and ask him to explain a verse you don’t understand. Watch a Christian movie (try “End of the Spear“) and ask him to teach you something through it. Take a walk and asks him about his creation. Watch your kids play and ask him to teach you something about them.
Talk to God you never know what he might say.
