Uncomfortable Love
Uncomfortable Love
Loving people is not always easy. It’s frustrating to love people who do not treat you with the same kindness that you give them. However, we are not called to treat others like they may treat us; we’re supposed to do things differently from the crowd, just like Jesus did.
Who are we to say who deserves love and who doesn’t? Jesus came down to a broken world, suffered ridicule and persecution, and was betrayed and killed by the very people He came to save. He could have said that we absolutely didn’t deserve His love because nothing is truer, but His love was greater! He was nailed to that cross to give us an example of perfect love.
Loving someone often means sacrificing, serving, and giving up your comfort for their good. Jesus did that in the extreme, and we can follow His example in our small ways. We get the opportunity to show His love in every conversation, every action, and every moment we have with people around us. It may seem like a challenge in the moment, but the result of our love will always bring light. Remember today: loving Jesus means loving people!
There’s more inside you!
There’s more inside you!
Let me tell you how nervous I got when God placed a new assignment on my heart at the end of last year!
It was clear and unmistakable: I was supposed to start a completely new project in a country that’s not very familiar to me, to lead people into prayer, and thus to God.
Sure, my mother is French, and yes, I love my summer vacations in southern France, but that was pretty much the extent of my connection to France.
So how was I supposed to connect with this country? Wouldn’t it make more “sense” to build more in Germany, where we’re already established with “A Miracle Every Day,” for example?
“What if it doesn’t work? What if others laugh at me?”
And don’t tell me you don’t know thoughts like these, too?
And right at that moment when I was full of doubts, I read the following Bible passage… Listen closely:
“Then we will be able to go and preach the Good News in other places far beyond you, where no one else is working. Then there will be no question of our boasting about work done in someone else’s territory … When people commend themselves, it doesn’t count for much. The important thing is for the Lord to commend them.” (2 Corinthians 10:16-18)
Point 1: God has always wanted us to be courageous—to pass on the gospel beyond our boundaries, whatever those boundaries may be in your case.
Point 2: It really doesn’t matter what “other people” say—God’s approval carries far more weight!
The important thing is for the Lord to commend them.” (2 Corinthians 10:18)
That means what God affirms will endure—even without human applause.
And as I love to say: miracles happen when you keep moving forward! 😉
Even before the official launch, a few thousand people had already signed up and are now being guided into daily prayer. Because, remember: God affirms what you do out of love—even if no one is applauding.
So all that’s left for me to ask is: Don’t you feel it too?
God wants to use YOU! Yes, you, have something to give—don’t let your own boundaries take that away from you.
You are a miracle!
