Straight Up

My church talks about evangelizing a lot. And it's important. And it's something we should do more often. My church goes on Saturdays into Silver Spring to talk to others about God. I never go. I have a million excuses not to go. The biggest one being that I don't think it's my thing. I'm not really good at it. It's hard to find the words. I'm so scared I'll somehow mess up and there goes my chance to win souls for the Lord. It's just not where my gifts lie.

These past few weeks, we have had a few guest pastors staying with us. It has been amazing. Truly, never in my life have I felt so connected to the word in my own church. It's a crazy new wonderful feeling. Tonight, Pastor Julio Serrenil talked to us about his specialty: evangelism. And the very first thing he told us was that it is not a gift, it is a commandment. And it's right in the book of Matthew. God calls on us to spread His word. And there is no reason for me not to. Maybe I'm not great at it but I have to try. It's what God wants. And I heard the right words to remind me of that.

Day 11: Deep

Because what's more profound than the Lord's word, right?
