I've done a lot of people watching lately...I tend to do that, especially in foreign countries. I like seeing how people react to one another in different situations. But also, whenever I people watch, I think about people that go through daily life, with no power, no LOVE, no Jesus.
Oh, what a life that would be to live with NO recognition or revelation of the REDEEMER.
What a great life we live. We have the privilege to live victoriously. We have the SOURCE that meets all of our needs...And even though troubles come, we have the Answer to them ALL...and that is Jesus. Really...what a GREAT life. How can you know the power and LOVE of Jesus and have a bad day? NOT possible.
He is our JOY. Our STRENGTH. Our FATHER. Our EVERYTHING.
This scripture has been rolling around in me these last couple of days....Matthew 9:36
"But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd."
Every time I've gone out these last couple of days, that scripture comes up in my heart and mostly brings tears to my eyes. These people NEED Jesus. These precious lives are crying out for their Redeemer.
And they are in the Father's heart.
We were in HIS heart before He ever came in ours. Talk about LOVE.
So these sheep are scattered abroad as sheep having no shepherd...But how can they call on HIM to save them, if they do not believe in Him? And how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them? (Romans 10:14-15)
Wow. That's us.
Father, may we be MOVED with your compassion for the lost. We have this GREAT GLORY and POWER on the inside of us...not to be stored up, but to be poured out.
Lead someone to JESUS today. Show them HIS Love.
I'm Excited to hear testimonies about this! And the next entry will have a testimony of someone coming to Jesus!
God is SO good. :)

We all need a nudge to continue with our command to 'go ye'. Thanks, Jenny!
