Ephesians 6:19

"God isn't limited by walls, by job titles." -Louie Giglio

I've been making chili and cutting up veggies for the past couple hours. But while I've been doing this, I've been listening to some of the messages from Passion 2012. Shoot. Broken again. Francis Chan was talking about us needing to read our Bibles. Like, REALLY read our Bibles. Reading it, following it, trusting it, living it, etc. It's supposed to be our lives. Jesus came to the world and save us and then he sent us into the dark world. Then Christine Caine was speaking on human trafficking. Ah. Her story. Of her life and now how she's recognized the importance of seeing numbers as humans and not as just a number. How there are 27million people trapped in slavery today. That is a ridiculous amount. 27 million. Shoot.

They talked about how it's inevitable that we'll die (hello 1 in 1 people do) and our purpose isn't to reach the end in our life living comfortably. The goal isn't to have made it safely. Psh I don't want that to be my goal! I want to be fearless for the gospel. I want to be bold. I want to be known for loving Jesus. There is so much going on that we can do something about. As a Christian, we are called to love others. Not just our friends and family, but everyone. The broken, the sad, the disabled, the lonely, the widowed, the poor, the orphaned, etc. Wow.

Now I'm not remembering who said it.....but here is my thought: I need to be praying that God would show me the path to glorify Him through everything-to show me how to use the talents, gifts, and passions that He gave me to make a difference in Jesus's name. In the name of Jesus. Serving the Lord. That's what I want my life to be. Always. Forever.

Pray for me. So much to pray through myself. Praying for others, for my life, for the chance to make a difference daily-no matter how small or large. Praying this verse:

Ephesians 6:19-20 "...for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains, that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak."

I don't think I'll sleep well tonight.
