It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see that the world is broken. People self-medicate, constantly seek methods of self-help, and are just plain selfish - self-centered when it comes down to it. But our focus on self hasn’t fixed any of our problems. The truth is, only the power of Jesus can transform our broken lives into the lives God intended.
That is why we share the Good News. Because we know from experience the power of the Gospel to change lives. When I received Jesus into my heart in my twenties, after failing to fix my own life by myself, everything finally changed. God transformed the way I viewed the world. He opened my eyes. He changed my focus from all about me to all about Him. As the Bible reminds me in Psalm 30:20, “I called to You for help and You healed me.” And that’s exactly what he did. It was then that I knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life sharing the message of Jesus Christ.
God wants to see the world healed and restored. What He did in my heart, what He’s done for you, that’s what he desires for everyone else on earth. We’re the ones to share that. Consider who in your life needs to hear the Gospel. Who is broken and needs healing? Everyone! Pray and ask God for an open door to share. Then, be bold! God wants to use you to reach your world to heal and restore. This is Andrew Palau.
