Unleash The Miraculous Every Dayनमूना
DAY 4: WHAT CHRISTIANITY WAS ALWAYS MEANT TO BE
When you help someone out…. Just do it—quietly and unobtrusively. That is the way your God, who conceived you in love, working behind the scenes, helps you out. Matthew 6:3–4 (MSG)
When you heat water in a kettle, you can always tell when it’s getting ready to boil. As the pressure builds, you begin to hear a bubbling noise before the whistle. People are a lot like kettles. When they are going through a stressful time and the pressure is mounting, you can hear warning signs in their conversation. These warnings are like little God-opportunities landing on your lap. Do you see them as opportunities?
Christians often talk about being “called to the ministry” or being “used by God.” I think we over-complicate things. When you really think about it, God wants to use each and every one of us in our everyday lives. In fact, he’s counting on us to shine a light of hope for people when their situation feels hopeless.
God often leads us to the people he wants us to help simply by drawing our attention to them. Being used by God can be as simple as just chatting with someone who looks a little down for a few minutes. You just never know what kind of impact you might make just by being willing to start up a conversation.
This normal and natural yet Spirit-led kind of approach is another great example of what it means to live the Spirit Contemporary life. It’s about learning how to let God lead us and empower us to be the difference in this world, and it’s about discovering how to do it in a way that makes people comfortable and genuinely accepts them the way they are.
For the majority of Christians, this is exactly how they want to live out their faith. Unfortunately, it’s the minority that gets all the press—the extremists who give Christianity a bad name. If you’re a Christian who’s tired of having to apologize for your faith, then this concept is for you. Not only will it change your life, but through it, you can help to completely transform the way the rest of the world looks at Christians.
