How much does it takes to see this long time ago "unreached village" to be reached? Well it takes one "laid down life" to make it happen. Isn't it wonderful to witness such life transformation by the Grace of Jesus Christ only because someone laid down their lives in following Jesus. It's not even a duty but truly an expression of "Love". That's what it takes to follow Jesus.
John 14:15 says, "If you follow Me, keep My commandments." John 14:21/ 23-24 21 Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them.” 23 Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them. 24 Anyone who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me. And what is the commandment? Luke 10:27 27 He answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’[a]; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[b]” There's not even the first and second but it's together. If we really love Jesus with all of our being we will lay down our personal agendas for the sake of the Gospel and love. L.O.V.E is a four letter word that will cause you EVERYTHING. So be careful on saying " I Love You." You might not know what it fully means. Be careful on saying YOU LOVE GOD. Because He will take that seriously and what it means to Love God? Do what He says in His commandment. Is it hard? Well, it only gets hard if you're doing things for a person you are trying to love but it will not feel so hard to do something for someone we really love. When you fall in love you can cross the ocean for the person without taking it as an obligation but an act of LOVE. 😊 #Love #waterbaptism #pemba #africalife #transformed #followerofChrist #thankful #Jesus #africa #Iris #OneLife #Onepurpose #oneGod |
