So was going to call it an early bedtime last night at 9 pm. God has been pushing me all day to contact a friend to encourage him to keep writing about his story, his transformation in Christ BUT I kept resisting. I ddin't want to be a pest, didnt' want to be "weird." God can talk to him directly right... why does he need me involved? So I'm refusing and just going to go to sleep.
Literally as I got in bed my phone rang and a friend from East Texas was calling to let me know a friend from that area had died. A dear lady who from the outside appeared to have it all, but on the inside apparently had no hope no peace. I'm crying again at the thought of the young family she left behind and the hope and peace she could have found in Him. I don't really know what to write today but just to say be here, now! God really isn't waiting for us to have a better job, a better living situation, a better fill in the blank. He wants us on fire for Him now. The world is full of desperate and hurting people and He calls us to be "fishers of men."
Matthew 4:19 "Come follow me,' Jesus said, "And I will make you fishers of men."
Lord when our hearts are heavy and we don't understand Your plans for us give us strength and peace that surpasses all understanding. Give our hearts the will of Your heart, change us, transform us into who You would have us be.
So with a heavy heart and tears of sorrow today I ask "What if HE changed your life?" No really, "What if HE changed your life?" Or the life of a dear friend or family member through your witness?
