The Gospel of love
Did you know the Gospel of love is something everyone actually wants? Atheists, agnostics, Muslims, and all the other religions or denominations want to hear the good news. Did you know that it's not hearing the about Jesus and the Bible that turn people off? Guess what turns them off. That's right, us. We get in the way of Jesus getting through because we have to be right. Not all Christians are right. Some of us are completely wrong. Believe it or not, it is not our job to be right. It's Jesus' job to be right and us just love people into the Kingdom. He need to be humble and loving like Jesus is because that says so much more than those who argue their point all the time. We get caught up in "trying to save people" that we fail to realize that we are NOT the ones doing the saving. We are a vessel that God uses to show people who He is. Not us using God to show who we are. I have been having issues lately on trying to reach those for the sake of Jesus. But did you know that He does not NEED us? He never has. He CHOOSES us to glorify Him. So in order to reach those for Jesus, we need to love them into the Kingdom. We need to be humble and kind just like Jesus is. So use the Gospel of love as a ministry instead of a soapbox. I'll be challenging myself in this as well, so let's see how God can work through us with us giving our pride to Him and letting Him do the work through us.
