Love Finds a Way While Indifference Makes an Excuse
Has God helped you? If He has, then pass it on by helping someone else.
Let’s refuse to do nothing. I believe we can all put smiles on people’s faces if we really want to. Refuse to be a “religious” Christian—be a real one. Let’s be Christians the way Christ intended by living a life that speaks for itself. When you give to help other people, your gift may leave your hand, but it will never leave your life.
Together, we can preach the good news of Jesus Christ to people in every nation and show them His love. This is something everyone can do. You don’t need any special equipment, and you don’t need a formal education. All you need is a willing heart to reach out to those in need and put smiles on people’s faces through LOVE.
Sometimes when you watch the news and look at the state our world is in, it can be quite discouraging. But don’t despair! Because there’s one thing strong enough to conquer all the evil in our world today—it’s the radical, outrageous, contagious love of God!
Even as I write this, I can sense inside me that it is right.
1 John 4:8 says that God is love. When we allow His love to flow to us and through us, then the world will see God for who He really is—a Father who is loving, caring, real and relevant…Someone who is faithful, compassionate, understanding and merciful…a God who desperately wants to have a relationship with His children and help them in every situation.
You Can Change Your World!
More than 2,000 years ago, Jesus Christ came to earth and started the greatest revolution this world has ever known…and it is a revolution for today. It’s a revolution that takes us outside the four walls of the church and brings us face-to-face with a world that’s looking for answers.
I encourage you to carefully read the scripture below. It’s a scripture that, if acted upon, has the power to literally transform your life and, in the process, change our world.
"No man has at any time [yet] seen God. But if we love one another, God abides (lives and remains) in us and His love (that love which is essentially His) is brought to completion (to its full maturity, runs its full course, is perfected) in us! "(1 John 4:12).
As Christians, we have a high calling. We’ve been commissioned by God Himself to reach our world for His kingdom…and we’ve been entrusted with the greatest message of all time.
This is my passion. This is my dream. I have dedicated the rest of my life to relieving human suffering and preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I have made a commitment to God that I will always take justice and relief wherever I take His Word. I’ve decided to start a love revolution…and I am starting with myself.
I hope you will join me.
