Today the Lord gave me the grace to step out in faith and boldly preach the gospel at the Alamo. One young man solemnly came up to me and placed 82 cents at my feet, as if thats all the gospel was worth. As he walked I tried to talk to him but he walked on so seriously as if angered and pricked by some truth that he didn't want to believe. What a sad thing to see people walk away hating the truth and hating God. People were happy to take pictures of their friends standing next to me as I preached. When you are preaching to a group of people it only pricks your heart more to care about their souls because you can see how lost and depraved their hearts truly are. I can't say that I completely understand why, but few things give me more joy than loudly proclaiming the gospel, than shouting it from the rooftops. I always used to wonder why I never saw anyone doing that, why isn't anyone shouting from the rooftops like dying men and women to dying men and women? All I know is that the Lord grips my heart, and when I stand up and boldly proclaim His gospel, reliant on Him, and He helps me by His mighty hand, I feel His pleasure. I feel Him near and His arms wrapped around me. I feel like this is what I was made for, I feel it so powerfully, I feel it deep within my soul. The Spirit walks with me, oh what a wonderful thing! Brethren, let us LIVE! Truly LIVE! I lived today :) And it was a day I will never forget because I know the Lord was with us and the truth was proclaimed to many. Let us strive together for the gospel! Lets not give up on going downtown together and spreading the Word of God and the gospel of truth! I will go. Who will go with me?!
Today I didn't go alone, Jacquelyn and Aric went with me. What a beautiful day. What a blessing they both are! :)
Earlier today, at 3 pm I went outside and saw the sunshine and was like, today is too beautiful a day not to go and share the gospel! And when I opened my mailbox there was a letter from Nedelka and Diego addressed to me, encouraging me to go share the gospel boldly and that they had been praying for me :) It was just what I needed, that little bit of encouragement, that Word from the Lord. Thank you brethren, your love and your words are powerful powerful things, to stir up and encourage :) I am only more eager to go out and share again!!! LETS GO! STRIVE TOGETHER FOR THE GOSPEL! :)
