We have been chosen to tell the world about Jesus but many times we stay silent for fear of being judges or mocked. Jesus stood up for us when we had no other way, so when HE calls us we should go.
Interestingly enough I’ve been reading the story of Jonah, and this is what has been on my heart:
We are called to spread the Gospel to a lost and dying world (Nineveh) but we choose to hide (boat to Tarshish), and in the end we get swallowed up by the world (big fish/whale). God’s Grace is so great HE will call us back from the world and renew our purpose, (fish spitting Jonah out on land). Don’t be fearful and do not pass judgment on those in sin for you once were them.
In essence if you are a Jonah there’s hope for you, and we’ve all been Jonah at some point in our lives, its those moments of regret that fuel us to follow the goading of the SPIRIT.
