What has God done for you?

I feel driven by the need to tell people about the way, the truth and the life. Jesus has proven Himself to me for over 40 years. He set me free from addictions, depression and rage. He’s given me a large family of three children, two African sons and twelve grandkids. We also have two fabulous sons-in-law and a perfect daughter-in-law. WOW! Not bad for a guy who wanted to kill himself at the age of twenty...

Can you relate to my gratitude? What has God done for you? 

I even wrote a book, The Transformed Family. It’s subtitled How to Transfer Your Faith to Your Family. It seems so ironic a guy like me could build a strong family in the faith. I came from a very dysfunctional one, but my own family all loves God and each other. 

My gratitude drives me. 2 Corinthians 5:20 says it all: “Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God.” What drives you to tell people about Jesus? 

I found the answer to all the troubles of life. Jesus is the answer to all the prejudice, hatred, violence and even COVID-19. I believe you hold the secret to set people free. You have the answers to all of life’s questions. You carry around in your body the antidote to hopelessness and guilt. “Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?” (I Corinthians 6:19, NKJV) 

Jesus even called you “the light of the world” in the book of Matthew. God believes in you, and He’s reaching out through you to win the lost, broken and abused.

I encourage you to make a list of ten people you love. Pray over that list and make it your mission to win them to Christ. Bring them to church and help them grow.

Because you’re a miracle.
