As I sat in church last Sunday I let the words of the songs flow over me. It was uplifting. I can’t imagine starting my week any other way. While I love the music, it’s the sermons that force me to take a good look at my life and what I’m doing with it. I’m not talking about how I live my life, but how I share my God and my beliefs with others.
I don’t.
I’ve always claimed that my relationship with God is personal, but that’s just an excuse. Pastor Anthony said it was easier to go to Africa or Honduras and share God’s message than it is to walk next door and share it with a neighbor. It’s humbling to admit he’s right. My neighbors know I go to church on Sunday and bible study during the week but I’ve never sat down and shared my beliefs with any of them.
God wants us to be disciples. I would like to say I am, but if I had to sit down for an “employee” evaluation on the job I’m doing, I would be fired. I’ve been a disciple in name but not in deed. It’s time to change that.
Dear Lord,
I don’t.

Dear Lord,
Grant me the strength and the courage to share your love with my friends, neighbors, and coworkers. I want to be your disciple in all facets of my life, not just when it is safe and easy.
Help me, Lord.
Help me, Lord.
