well i just wanted to share with you one of my favorite things! being away from home i miss this so much! this was my breakfast literally every single day over the summer after my uncle introduced this wonderful little invention to me. and obviously liking it so much i'm going to tell you all about it! it's made of instant oats (don't let it scare you, i know it seems a little odd, BUT super good I promise :) vanilla, milk, banana, and yogurt. IT'S SO GOOD. and i bet after looking at that picture you would want it too! like i bet if i had some and asked you if you'd want to try it, i guarantee most people would! well you may be wondering why i'm telling you all this. if you think about it, we tell people how much we love our sports teams, how much we love our i-pods, how much we love our friends, etc.. so i decided to post about my favorite breakfast. well kind of, i actually am posting on how we talk about things we love, but why then is it so hard to talk about Jesus?
people question, why some people constantly talk about Jesus? why are they so crazy about Jesus? well just a little secret, cause they LOVE Him. i know, crazy, hun?
i digress; back to my breakfast... just as i told you all about it, and how much i love it. thats how God wants us to tell others about Jesus. he wants us to be able to spread our faith with everyone. he wants us to passionately explain Him to others. once we find Him, we love to share Him.
"the found people like to go find people" WOW! awesome quote. once i truly found Jesus, i went crazy. i was trying to tell every single person on the face of this earth about Him. i wanted everyone to experience His love and just all around amazingness. so this brings forth my first question for "believers"
when did you find Jesus? -if you can't answer this, i'm sorry but, you don't know Jesus. just like all important things in our life we remember dates (your birthday, your anniversary, etc..) we remember exact times. i'm not asking you what the date was when you were confirmed, or when you were baptized as a little baby. i'm asking when you meet Jesus, truly met Jesus. When you first experienced Him, and His unconditional love. You would know if you've met Him because your life would never be the same. So with that said, question number 2..
who have you introduced to Jesus? -like before, when i told you about my favorite breakfast, i like it so much i wanted to share it with you. the same holds true to Jesus. once you meet Him, you want to share Him.
Romans 10:14
14 How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?
after i met Jesus i felt completely alone. i felt like Jesus was playing a sick and twisted joke on me. it was almost as if i was told to do the impossible. but as i truly thought about it i began to come to the realization that it was not at all a joke. it was not a mistake! it was not a mistake i was surround by non-believers. its never been so clear to me as it is now. i was the light God gave to my non-believing friends. i was the light in what seemed like an endless darkness. Jesus has taught me what it truly means to tell people about His love. Jesus has truly taught me how to lean on Him, and Him alone. He has shown me what how, "you never know how stronger you can be until you have no other choice than to be strong." He taught me how HE iS ALL i NEED! i am forever thankful.
if you feel like this post or any of my posts make you want to know Jesus as i've explained i'd love to pray for you with you/with you. please comment or get ahold of me!
xoxo
