Hey Ya'll!
Joel reporting for duty.
Just 1 more day until the outreach event.. omgg im so excited.. *even though im not there*
Soooo... to show my invisible support, I have provided two simple verses for you guys =D
Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; for the Lord your God will be with you whereever you go. -Joshua 1:9
Let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven. -Matthew 5:16
I know its something new to you guys and most of you probably havent even visited an old folks home before, much less perform in front of them.
And i know that some of you are feeling small, you just wanna go through the motions, get it over with, and you feel whatever you do isnt gonna make an impact.
Some of you might even feel inadequate, as if youre not good enough as a Christian, not holy enough to do this.
Some of you are feeling scared, afraid at the prospects of going up in front of random strangers to show them the love and the good news of God.
But whatever your case is, God is with you.
And remember, that God judges not who you are now, but he looks at what you can be.
He looks not at the outside, how confident we are, how handsome/pretty we look, but at our heart and our intentions, whether we are doing it for him or for other reasons.
And God works for the good of those who love him.
So whatever it is, remember my last lesson to you guys.
Put on that full armor of God,
and empty yourselves as willing vessels, that he may do mighty deeds on Earth.
Let him come forth as (Heb 12:29) consuming fire that will burn away the enemy and sin, that all who oppose him will not stand. And let him also come forth as (Mala 3:2) a refiners fire, and shape and mould his people for his glory.
you are God's chosen army.
stand and fight.
