Part 17- The God I Know

  "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 

Matthew 6:25 

Have you ever wondered who is God? I mean, sure I know he is awesome, powerful, I mean the whole Bible talks about Him. The Bible tells us who God is, what He does, and what He's for.

But, don't you think the people who don't read the bible should know the truth? I mean, there are people out there who have never even heard the word God. They don't know that their worries and struggles don't need to burden them for the rest of their lives. How will they find out to let their worries down? How will they know to look up and they will see a God who loves them and is willing to be there for them whenever they need Him?

Deep huh? Well it's not that complicated.

The key is to know who God is first! I mean, how can you spread the gospel when you don't even know it yourself! Kind of funny when you think about it! So I tell you, right now, take that Bible that has been on your shelf for weeks without being opened and read Matthew 6. Read what God can do for you. Read what God has in store for you! He has Salvation, Love, Peace, Hope, Joy, and Grace. Now that you know what God is, what He stands for, and what He can do, go out of your house and just tell someone! Tell them to let their worries down and that there is a solution to the heartbreak and the sorrow! And don't be discouraged if you get a negative response, sometimes people choose otherwise. But God has a purpose for everyone.

So today, I challenge you tell someone the God you know! 

Dear Jesus,

You are all powerful and a loving God. I know that what you have in store for me is something wonderful! I thank you for being there for me and for my family! Please hold me in your arms when I need you! Please help me to show someone today that there is a God who cares.

Amen.
