Glad and Free Heart

He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation."  Mark 16:15


Alyssa and friends in Mexico (2010)


Evangelism is the spontaneous overflow 
of a glad and free heart in Jesus Christ.
--Robert Munger
   
People are often cringe and become afraid when they hear the word "evangelism" or the phrase "sharing your faith".  Yet, we live in a world who is in need of hearing the good news.  If we don't go into the world and preach the good news, who will?

My pray isn't that Alyssa and Kyle will beat people over the head with their faith, in order that they come to know Jesus, but that out of the "spontaneous overflow of a glad and free heart in Jesus"  they can draw those who are lost, hurting and afraid, to the Savior of the world.

Show the world, babies, your glad and free heart in Jesus!

Lord, I pray that your light will shine in Alyssa and Kyle so that their friends, neighbors and those they work with, see you in the things that they say and do.  Make Alyssa and Kyle's hearts hungry to go into the world and preach your good newsI pray that they are not looked down upon because they are young, but listened to because of their passion, wisdom, and faith.  Alyssa and Kyle have the opportunity to change lives, tell the good, good story, and draw others into a personal, live giving relationship with you.  Lord, may spreading the good news be a passion in Alyssa and Kyle's life.
