Lazy Saturday

As I type this right now I am laying lazily on my bed listening to music and reflecting on my week. I have no idea where my week went to be honest. I had it planned out and I just followed my plan and then boom the week was over. It's so strange to me that I just go through each day so unaware and only focused on what I have to get done. What's weird is I don't consider myself a selfish person generally but, now that I am thinking about it I am faced with the fact that I am incredibly selfish. My awseome youth pastor got my attention with these fun facts this week-1.There are over 4.5 billion people right now who don't know Jesus Christ. 2.There are ovr 2.7 billion people who have never had even the opportunity to know him. These facts hit me hard. If this is the case in our world then we as christians are not doing our job. We are called to take the word of the Lord to the nations. Now I know not everyone is called to go to foreign countries and do missions like I am but, there are a lot of things we can do from the comfort of our own communities. Aside from offering prayer and financial support to those who are doing international mission work, we need to consider what we can do in our towns. What about that elderly neighbor who is hurting or that kid at lunch who sits all alone? Believe it or not this is a huge mission field. How hard is it to go visit your elderly neighbor and just spend sometime with them or ask someone if they would like to sit with you? These kinds of small things make us different. This is how we let our lights shine and spread Christ's love. I challenge you to pray that God would use you to make a difference for him and his glory. Ask him to use you and then take the opportunites he gives you.
