So my major is Radio/TV/Film. I love video editing. In my speech class we received an assignment to write an informative speech. I chose to do mine on editing film and how it could be used in any job field. Should be easy right? It's something i enjoy, I can talk about this for days. Yeah....not so much. What I'm discovering is that when you only have 5-7 minutes to talk about this you really have to pick the important aspects of editing and then summarize those points. Not only that but, in general it is harder to try to explain to someone how to edit than it is to show them.
This is kinda how our faith feels to us doesn't it? We talk everyday about how we would rather do random acts of kindness than to sit down with a random person and explain God and Christianity to them.
Just soak in that thought for a while.
Why are we so afraid to talk to others about our God? The Bible does say that we should boast about our God and our God only. Are we afraid of rejection? People getting upset and yelling in our face, or scoffing in our direction? Are we afraid of failure? perhaps its because we don't know what to say. Maybe we only know enough about God to answer our own questions, but never other peoples questions.
But what shall we fear if our God is with us? He is always protecting us, supporting us. We are never alone. Even if we lose everything we have, friends, family, our job, our electronics, we are never alone. God is with us guys. He is with us when we walk away from him. He is still there. No matter how many times we reject him, hurt him, betray him, he remains by our side. He loves us and there is nothing we can do about it.
Lets soak in the word of the Lord, not only for ourselves, but so that we can our his love onto others, not just through our action but through words as well. Actions do speak louder than words, but sometimes they don't have as clear of a meaning or message as words do.
So lets go and tell the world about Jesus! For who wouldn't want to know of a God that sticks with us even when we don't stick with him? A God that forgives us even when we haven't forgiven ourselves. Lets live our lives for the glory of God and not care who is watching, judging, or laughing.
God is with us until the end of the age. Lets do the same for him.
