AVAILABLE
Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone. (Mark 16:15)
JESUS IS ALIVE! So, let’s get to it! Jesus said “Go!” I am certain that the disciples were still a bit hesitant. I am also certain that we are as well from time to time.
Sometimes people will be excited and want everyone to know, but rejection can slow that down! Fear not! Remember, we simply deliver good news. God gets the glory.
A key is to stay excited about Jesus. Stay close to Him. The more we know Him, the more we will naturally share His good news.
Make sure that you are available! Some words that run with that came to me as I considered where God was leading me. He said to be. When Christ is in you, you can be you. We can relax and let Him be himself in us and through us.
He also said shine! If we keep our hearts and minds on Jesus, there will be a shine. We do not have to force the shine; it will just turn on. We may not even know, but He will show.
We can rest in what He says. There is no pressure. There is rest in knowing that we are going in His power. We are trusting Him for direction, and we can rejoice in His results because we know that His word always accomplishes what He sends it to do.
Remember, you have a testimony. God has accomplished things in you that may not totally grasp, but as I love to say, something happened!
We are always somewhere, and everywhere we are, we are on the go with good news. We have good news for every circumstance. We have Jesus. We can speak His name over everyone and everything. Did you know that there are a lot of people who do not know that?
There are so many people who have not experienced the presence of God. Or if they have, they did not recognize it. We have good news that can make something happen. We can open the eyes of someone’s understanding by sharing our own victory over confusion.
Going with good news, does not require a theological explanation. God is good! That is enough good news to last a lifetime. God never fails! God loves you! Can I pray for you? Can I help you?
A simple touch can confirm the goodness of God. Jesus touched the untouchables. He set captives free. He was always available and attentive to what God wanted.
That is all God wants from us. He loves to see faith that trusts. He loves when we love His son. He could accomplish everything all by Himself, but He chose you. How cool is that? Everywhere you go people want to know. Even if they don’t know they are looking, Jesus is looking for them.
