Look Out and Reach Out

An inward facing church has always been a concern to me...We have been given the great commission of sharing the Gospel of our salvation with all man/woman. And to make them followers of our Saviour.
This preaching must not therefore be in word only but also in power...
The power that is able to turn around a city...a family... an individual....A message for the masses and for a person.
We have been called to love those who hate us...pray for those you persecute us...So that means my love and my prayer should not only be directly towards those of my house but those outside...What would then distinguish us from those who have no relationship with God through Jesus Christ.
We've called to be the light of the world, so that mean I can bring hope by sharing Christ who has become my hope...
..."You are the salt..." Yes I am the flavour of God on the earth.
The Great commission demands that I not focus on my needs, my hurts, injustices done to me and my pain but Look Out and Reach Out...

God was never satisfied with Himself by Himself, thus the invitation was extended to us all... He Looked Out and Reached Out with His might hand.
