and it casts out all of that evil stuff.
I just have to think about it for me, it challenges
me and the responsibility that we all have as
Christians to take the opportunities that we are
given, and not to waste them and think that it’s
insignificant when we have those opportunities
to share Jesus or to love someone and really
impact them, or invite them to church. You
never know what one small word or one small
act of service or love or invitation could do for
someone, and how powerful that is. So I think
about that, the people that God has given me,
the people I come across, I believe that in every
moment God knows where we’re going to go
and be, and there are moments that are so set
up and organic, those are divine appointments
and I just want to be more aware of those. I
think if every believer was doing that how much
greater would the impact be in our world, if
everyone loved Jesus our world would be so
much different.
It’s so incredibly sad and so heartbreaking,
there are so many solutions being thrown
around but it’s such a complex issue. I just
think about trying to love people in my sphere
