Have I Told You

I said something in Bible study this morning.  I didn't want to say it.  However, God wanted it said.  And just how do I know this?  I know His voice.  I hear Him speak to me.  I began to feel my heart beat loudly, to the extent that sometimes I think others can see it.  As it thump, thump, thumps--louder, harder, pumping away, I wonder--can they tell?  I get nervous, tears start to flow and then I know that He has something that He wants me to share.  It's been this way from the beginning.  That thumping heart, the tears, the knowing--God is about to use me to say something right at the moment that will touch someone's heart and minister to them in some way.

So, what did I say?  I said this--I don't ever want someone to say the words to me, "why didn't you tell me about Christ when you knew all along?"  And I mean that.  I never, ever want to hear a friend or family member say those words to me.  Actually, I don't want a stranger that I've met on the street to say those words to me.  I so want my life to exude Christ in everything I say or do, that there is never a doubt in anyone's mind where I stand and what I believe in.

If you read this blog, then you know what I believe.  However, what about those who don't?  What about those I've come in contact with who don't know much about me?  Well, those are the ones I'm praying for.  Those are the people that I am heavyhearted over.  I want to make sure that they know about Jesus, my Jesus, the one whom I serve with every fiber of my being.

And If I've missed telling you, then I sincerely apologize.  I can only hope and pray that someone else does their job and shares Christ with you.

It's so strange to me that I am even writing about this today.  So much has gone on in my life these past few weeks and yet this is what the Lord has laid on my heart to write about today.  I'll get to the other stuff eventually, but I guess that's what is it--it's just stuff.  And this?  Well, this is life giving.  This sharing with you about my faith in my God and telling you how much He loves you and died for you.  How awesome is that?  And, the best thing is--you don't have to do a thing other than giving your heart and life completely over to Him, He takes care of the rest.  He changes us, molds us, makes us into who He wants us to be.  He puts His desires in our hearts and He becomes our father.

So just so you know--I'm praying for you.  Every day, I pray.  I pray that you come to know Christ the way I know Him.  That you feel His love for you as deeply as I feel it.  And that you fall in love with Jesus the way I have.  Because I never ever want to hear you say to me--why didn't you tell me?

I'm telling you now...
