Well, I would like to report that since my last blog post that I have been setting the world on fire with the Gospel message. Sadly, as the Spirit convicts, I have not. It is for this reason that I have greater admiration and respect for those who daily risk their lives for the sake of the Gospel. My life reads as a series of missed opportunities. I don't know how many times I've had the chance to tell someone the good news of Christ, and for whatever reason, have held back. Fear, embarassment, general dislike of the person, (hopefully not the latter) all perhaps have played a part, or perhaps more worrisome is the thought that, maybe I don't really believe what I claim to believe. If it was really true, wouldn't I be compelled to share? As I write this, my spirit is downcast. All I can do is cry out to HIM who is merciful and say, "I'm sorry." I trust that God's grace, which is sufficient to cover a multitude of sin, will once again cover my transgression, and I pray that the next time the opportunity presents itself, I won't miss it. It is my hope that this will encourage you to do the same should you find yourself passing on opportunities as well.
