Do you ever look around you and see people pushing Christ away so hard that it makes you miserable just to watch? On the opposite extreme is gazing at the people beside you with an incredible sense of home and peace because they pursue Christ with all their might? I’m certainly not saying you can only be friends with Christians. It’s actually extremely important to step outside the church family because that’s where so much healing and discipleship happens. Even just looking around puts God’s work into perspective. He changes everything. I’m not the person I was before I surrendered to Jesus and I recognize that. There’s a peace in my heart now that I see lacking in many others. My continuous prayer is that Jesus will continue to burn a fire in my heart for Him because I never want to run from His constant mercies. Building on that is a cry for opportunities to spread the joy. He has never failed me and what a wonderful thrill it is to share that truth with others. I pray you would also recognize His constant mercies in your life today and be empowered to share those with people around you.
