The every day business of life can cause us to lose sight of the real issues. As I walked through downtown Tenali, I was reminded that sometimes we need a refresher on the basics of life. The lack of food and the desperate nature of life itself were evident in the eyes of the children. The hugs and hand holding reminded me that it is about the relationship; not the actual things we do.
Children all over the world are starving for you! They are starving for your arms to wrap them up in a warm embrace and allow them to feel the love flow through your hug. The children are starving for the conversation, however limited due to language barriers, you have with them as you communicate the love of the Heavenly Father. The children are starving for that small token of friendship you offer as you make a paper cross and share that Jesus died for them.
We all know the reality of what matters in this life. We know the right thing to do. According to James 4:17, we have only one option in this issue of doing what is right. Obedience is the only choice for those who are Christ followers. Doing the right thing is the only path for us that matters in this life.
Today all over the globe, children are in need of the church to step up and love like Jesus commanded. Many have done this once or twice, but what about lately? I challenge you to seek out the opportunity in front of you to be His hands and His feet in reaching the nations with the truth of His Word. Right now...not tomorrow, not next week...right now search that website, look for that trip, pack your bags, fall on your knees and pray, seek first His kingdom.
Today, you can make your plans to walk in that village with the children and be Jesus' hands and feet. You can prepare to love and care for those who need to see the love of the Body in order to find the love of the Savior. Come on, don't wait! Don't find something else to do. Go to the Father and ask the Spirit of God to direct your path as you search for the place He wants you to serve. Come on...let's reach this world with His Word and teach His ways so that salvation will be made known among every nation!
