i was thinking today alot about this

man! i have been so lucky to have felt the love of God in my life...i have learned to love myself and be comfortable in my own skin because of knowing and feeling the love of God...God is my LIFE...my natural response of God loving me has been a love for others, easy i guess. it's a love that has caused me to feel love for others who shouldn't be loved or people i don't even know...i find myself drawn towards others needs because of God's love. i have got to see God do some amazing things through me because i let him...and it all stems from knowing him and feeling his love for me...that fact that we have access to him and his love causes my heart to be thankful and excited knowing i have Him as my father...i have access to God because of jesus and access to his forgiveness when i screw up...access to his provision, access to his healing, access to his passion for me...an awesome feeling!!! it got me thinking about the job of the church...

i try to imagine sometimes living without that access or not have access to feeling God's love...even further, never hearing the gospel of peace...about what God did through jesus... the truth is i probably can’t imagine living in this life and never hearing the gospel or ever having access to God's love! knowing what i know about him almost breaks my heart thinking about it...why? because i have always had it, even since i was a little boy. all my life i have had access to churches from multiple denominations that offer services in various styles that are great, uh including my own church E3 (shameless plug). what is awesome about living in the usa is i have access to true and relevant followers of jesus who preach, teach and witness in a language i understand. i have access to the bible in dozens of translations, what it's like 50 translations or something like that. i have access to God as my savior, friend, healer, provider...i have access to HIM, thank GOD!!! i have sat, pondered, talked about, sang about, thought deeply about something for alot years and for many in the world today access is not a right to them. in fact access to God is a gift. if this is true, then what am i doing with it (the gospel)? it is my job as a believer to give those who don't have access to the gospel a chance to hear, get it, or at least have a choice to reject it...that's my job as a christian...and when i love people like God loves me i feel extremely compelled to give, work, live, bleed, and pray for others to get a chance to hear of God's love and what jesus did at the cross...give them a chance to have access like me...

God is stirring my heart even more lately about this truth and what i can do about it...please pray, give, work for, and love those who don't know jesus yet and for nations who have yet to have a chance to hear...everyday i post an unreached people group and i pray for them...i pray that God would stir in the hearts of his people a passion for those who have yet to hear, in the usa and in unreached parts of the world where the biggest needs are...ultimately my heart is to get to, send others to, reach those who have never heard...join me in loving people...getting Gods heartbeat for the lost and the hurting...GET YOUR BEAUTIFUL FEET ON!!! dath's rite!!!

just my thought for the day and i had to write it...peace yall
