Day 63: On a mission
I was on a mission today.
Some things on my list were as follows:
"What's the first thing you think of when you hear the name Jesus?"
While still getting a hold of his ipod ear buds he tells me Lord and Savior which is just about the best answer you can get right? :-)
I asked him if he was involved in any of the Christian groups on campus and he told me no so I let him know what was up and he gave me his contact info.
PRAISE JESUS!!!
I'm pretty sure I've said it before but what's the harm in repeating yourself right? Even though I think it would be slick if he came to Chi Alpha I just hope he gets plugged in somewhere and starts (unless he has already started) living for Jesus.
Lesson relearned
God is good and works out things for those people who do His will. He is soooo good He even does great things for those who aren't there yet.
Why go out of your way then?
C.S. Lewis said it sort of like this:
We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.
In short, God has so much more to offer us than free will for us to try and do the best we can without Him.
We can't forget what happens at the end of our first story either. Living for ourselves doesn't end pretty and if you don't buy it from me just ask Him. Believe me, He will let you know if you ask.
God bless and goodnight.
Some things on my list were as follows:
- Get a video tape from a rockin' friend so that my roommate would think I was pretty cool, lol!
- Meet up with a guy who ended up not being at his dorm. I got to talk a little with his roommate though so that was cool.
- Go to prayer and get totally powered/healed up with a bunch of my Chi Alpha fam who I totally love.
- Hmmm . . . what am I missing??? OH YEA!!! Share Jesus with someone :-) Whew.
