When my heart is consumed by His greatness and His goodness, then I can’t help but overflow outward to share His truth with others.
==================
Scripture
Acts 26:28-29
“28 And Agrippa said to Paul, “In a short time would you persuade me to be a Christian?” 29 And Paul said, “Whether short or long, I would to God that not only you but also all who hear me this day might become such as I am—except for these chains.”
Observation
Paul’s transformation was so profound, that it caused him to desire that same change for all those he encountered. His love for God changed his life–his love for others, wanted them to experience the change also.
Application
Our world promotes the idea of “you do you”. If it works for you, go ahead! …just leave me out of it. That seems to make sense from a human standpoint–but it ignores the reality of true, profound, life-changing transformation. The transformation that Christ brings, is beyond anything this world can offer. Who wouldn’t want to experience it?! If I don’t have a deep and burning urgency in my heart to share the Good News with others, then it’s possible that I haven’t fully glimpsed the fullness of what Christ has done for me. When my heart is consumed by His greatness and His goodness, then I can’t help but overflow outward to share His truth with others.
This week, I need to take time to understand and dwell on the greatness of my savior–and then share that Good News with someone around me.
Prayer
God, thank you for the transformation that you are working in me! Thank you for your greatness, and your goodness through every season and every challenge. Help me to understand the limitless scale of your love for me, and help me to care enough for those around me to share that same good news with them also.
