This past Saturday I took my son to an outreach downtown. He was asked to minister to a crowd of hurting people thru a song the Lord had given him. While I listened to my son sing this song “Lord I need your help” tears began to flow from my heart. His voice reached the people as they walked up and down the street. I was amazed to see how the Lord was using this young vessel to call His children to Himself! The crowd gathered around clapping their hands and praising God. Some people came up for prayer while others stood back and listened to the lyrics with their hands lifted to the sky. Although many of them would probbly never walk into a church setting because they were dirty, some drunk, and one appeared to be on drugs; It was awesome to see God take church to the that little street corner. The Lord reminded me that we are the church. The church is not the four walls that surround us on Sunday.God will use anyone who says “here I am Lord send me” even a fourteen year old! People matter to God and they should matter to us. Sometimes we get so comfortable with our lives that we forget to reach out to the poor,the lost, and the hurting. It is so important that we pray for the Lord to give us a heart for His people. We should take time to look for oppurtunities to share about God’s love,mercy,grace, and compassion.God has done so much for us. We all have a story to tell and we never know who needs to hear it. Oh, how good God has been to me!! So,I remember all that He has done for me on this journey, and I look forward to all that He will do still. When is the last time told someone about how good God has been you?
Love,
Eva
