Jesus called us, and He is calling others through you! Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling, calling for you and for me…..remember that old song? Jesus is calling you! He wants to draw us daily into His presence. I love the devotional by Sarah Young called, “Jesus Calling” and I love it that so many people make reading it a part of their daily quiet time with God. My mom personally has given the book Jesus Calling to probably 50 people, or more! It is a precious thought that Jesus is wooing us personally unto Himself. He wants an intimate relationship with you. If you’ve answered with a yes, God will then begin to use you in your sphere of influence to lead others to Him, through your life. Perhaps you think that means you have to be telling everyone everywhere about the Lord. That wouldn’t be a bad idea, if you do it when you are prompted by the Holy Spirit, but seeing others come to Christ is often more show than tell. Both work together well, but if your life isn’t showing the change that happened in your life since you’ve come to Christ, then your telling will be totally ineffective. So walk it and talk it, but make sure your telling lines up with your showing! So go tell, walk the walk, and talk the walk, and show the world around you that Jesus is real by your manner of life. Let the evidence of your life show that you are saying yes to God’s call on your life to reach your world.
