Making An Impact For The Cause Of Christ...

This needs to be every believers number one goal!  Our purpose here on earth isn't to live for ourselves and give ourselves pleasure, but we are to seek out his will and fulfill his plan.  We have been so blessed with having the breathe of life in us that so many people still today, take for granted.  God gives us life each day to have us serve him and make an impact for him.  So many people look at God as "controlling" when in fact he has nothing but LOVE for us!!  To think about it, he loved us so very much that he sent his Only Son to come down here to live on earth with us, and to sacrifice himself for us when he didn't deserve it.  When I picture "controlling" I picture someone forcing us to do something, and only giving us one option.  This is what the enemy does, he tries to force things down our throat and back us into a corner in panic.  Our loving God gives us free will where we get to choose to either serve him or not.  He waits on us patiently while we do our own thing and he is waiting with arms wide open when we decide to come to him.  When you have Jesus as your Lord and Savior you understand the price that was paid for you, and all you want to do is give back.  You want to use your life as a walking and living testimony for him.  You want to tell others that you come in contact with about Jesus Christ because you don't want to see others perish.  We cannot be afraid to offend people, we need to share what Jesus has done in our life and share the Word.  We can remember that Gods Word never returns void, so when we give scripture then seeds are planted in that person and God can start working in their heart.  We live in a fallen world and lost society to where there are many people on their way to hell and don't even care.  People want to fulfill every selfish desire and don't care what it costs.  We cannot be surprised to see so many people living for the flesh, because we know that only a few truly follow the Lord.  We are responsible to do our part, and that is to be a walking testimony to Jesus Christ.  We are responsible to know what his word says by studying it, and to actually walk it out in our lives.  We are to forgive others that have wronged us and walk in love.  We are to stand bold and hold God to his word because he puts it above his own name.  So what are you doing in your life to make an impact for the cause of Christ?  Have you taken any bold stands lately?  Start somewhere, and start looking for people to pour into.  God sets up divine appointments daily, we just have to take our eyes off of our busy lives, and look around to others.  In your prayer time start asking God to open up your eyes so you can be used fully for the cause of Christ!  God will give you wisdom and revelation when you ask according to his will.
