As bad as I want to fix some people,
I have decided I just can’t do it! First
of all, I don’t need to be fixing anyone because I don’t know what is best for
everyone (except Jesus) and secondly, I can’t---I don’t have the power to do so
even if I wanted to. I have come to the
conclusion that not everyone will change for the better, in other words, not
everyone will be saved and follow Jesus Christ and as bad as I want them to I
can’t make anyone get saved. Jesus is
the only answer to my problems and everyone else’s too. My job is simply to tell people about Jesus
and show them the love of Christ and then let him take care of the rest. I was thinking even if I talked and talked to
someone, even if I drug them up to the alter and prayed and prayed for them,
they will never become truly saved until they, themselves, feel that drawing
that can only come from Jesus. Now I
have no doubt that he is drawing everyone to him, but not all are
listening. It hurts my heart
tremendously when I think about those I love not being saved. Of course I want everyone I know to be in
Heaven together, but it is so much more than that. I want them to know Jesus now, to experience
what he can do in their lives now; I want them to not only feel what I feel,
but to feel it even stronger. I couldn’t
help but think about all this after reading verse 5, if people do not welcome you,
leave their town and shake the dust off your feet as a testimony against them. This let me know just how serious this
decision is and that Jesus is not playing---he loves us, he wants us, but he
will beg no one. I have heard many times
that Jesus is the perfect gentleman and he is.
His love is there, he has already proven that by his life, his death,
and his resurrection---he has nothing else to prove. It is us that have to prove ourselves worthy
of Him, our Savior and the only Savior of this world. So tonight, I beg of you to seek the face of
Jesus, ask him to reveal the truth to you, ask him to take your life and make
it his, ask him to guide your every step, and I can promise you this he
will! There is nothing that I can tell
you that will ever stir you, that will ever comfort you, that will ever guide
you, that will ever protect you, like that sweet, powerful Holy Spirit that God
can fill you with when you seek Him.
Just call his name and he will be there, he will come and wrap his
comforting arms around you and give you a peace and a strength like you have
never known. He is Jesus and I am
humbled and honored to call him My Father!
