Mark 8:34-35 "Then Jesus called the crowd to himself along with his disciples. He said to them, "Those who want to follow me must say no to the things they want, pick up their crosses, and follow me. Those who want to save their lives will lose them. But those who lose their lives for me and for the Good News will save them."
We know that God is calling us to be generous with our words, our time and our money; but He has also called us to be generous in sharing the Good News that Jesus died for our sins and to share how He was buried and rose again on the 3rd day conquering death and the power of sin over our lives! Phew that was a lot...The truth of the matter is we as Christians carry the hope of Christ in us. We cannot be selfish with that hope we must give it to every person God puts in our path.
God’s ways are not the norm. He may call us to go places we would not normally go. He may call us to reach out to people we would not normally associate with. He may call us to give up things we would normally hold onto. He tells us the way to find true life is to give up our life for the sake of the Good News!
What is it that you are tightly holding onto that God is calling you to give so that the Message might be shared? Are you willing today to let go and let God do miraculous things through you, as you are generous with His Message? I hope you will...
You are Loved!
