This past Sunday we had an emphasis on missions in India. It went quite well amidst all of our activities that day. I have done some missions work in different areas of the world nothing too extensive regrettably. I've done some work with the homeless, some with habitat for humanity, I took a quick trip to Romania's Transylvania, and I have also done some heartbreaking work with individuals who were facing impossible situations without the Father. One thing I am constantly reminded of though is the places that we don't go or possibly can't go. How many tears of our brothers and sisters worldwide go unnoticed? Just because we believe them to already be "Christians" we have the unfortunate habit of passing them by and reaching out to the lost. A lot of times we just focus on being like Jesus which is exactly what we need to be doing but we have this idea that Jesus only saved the lost while He was on earth but that is just half of what He did and taught. " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments." Matt. 22:37-40
Even John 15:3 speaks about love, "There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends."
There are brother and sisters whose tears are shed daily because they just need someone to help lift them up when they are beaten down. Let us not forget them this Christmas and New Years or may I submit to you that we not forget them ever... We all have points in our life where we are beaten down and sometimes dragged through our sorrow and pain. Let's not be naive and think that we are the only ones...
The tears of the saints are falling down... All you have to do is look beyond the ordinary and into the obvious.
