As my grandson and I met yesterday afternoon for dinner (what I mentioned in yesterday’s entry), I was able to share with him the material I’d brought supporting the message I was wanting him to hear about his identity in Jesus Christ. When we were done he asked if he could keep the material? Of course I’d brought it with that purpose, but it was so nice to know the message had brought Light into the darkness he was experiencing. He hugged me several times before we departed.
Being able to share Christ’s promises in His Word with others is something God wants us doing. I use to fear this not knowing when the right times were for doing such. I was thinking we were all to do it just like my grandma did. She knew no stranger when it came to sharing Jesus Christ and His desire to be their Savior and Lord. What I now realize is that grandma was obeying Christ’s nudges. That is exactly what Christ wants me doing and each one of us. My eyes were on grandma and how she followed Christ’s nudges rather than on Christ Himself. Today I can know the joy of following Christ’s nudges rather than the frustration that I didn’t do it like grandma.
It is important to know that Christ made us the way we are and He wants to use us just that way. Lets remember to keep our eyes on Jesus and follow His nudges.
