Taking a moment to reflect on the heart of God, we are reminded of the profound importance of relationships and the eternal significance of knowing Christ. The essence of our faith is not just in personal salvation but in sharing the grace of God with those around us. Many of us have friends who do not know Jesus, and this should deeply move us. The tears we shed for them are a reflection of God's own heart, which longs for every soul to come to repentance and experience His love.
The reason we may not feel this burden is often because we are not close enough to those who are lost. Jesus exemplified a life lived among those who needed Him most, and we are called to do the same. Our mission is to build genuine relationships with those who do not yet know Christ, allowing His love to flow through us and touch their lives. This is not just about evangelism; it is about embodying the love and compassion of Christ in every interaction.
Heaven rejoices not over our earthly achievements or victories but over each sinner who turns to God. This is the true measure of success in the Kingdom of God. Our focus should be on what brings joy to Heaven, aligning our hearts with God's priorities. As we engage with our friends and communities, let us be intentional in sharing the hope and grace we have found in Jesus.
