Matthew 28:19

A couple weeks ago God reminded me of these verses, Matthew 28:19&20- "Therefore go & make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father & of the Son & of the Holy Spirit, & teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am w/ you always, to the very end of the age," I thought about them over & over & wondered, "why have you shown me these verses again? Am I supposed to 'Go' somewhere?" I never really got any kind of answer, so to speak, so I just kind of tucked them away. Then we went to Gatlinburg, all of us. It was so much fun. We went on the Sky Lift & on the way up Kynlee rode w/ her mom & Trev, but on the way back down she rode w/ me. So as we're coming down I'm a little nervous, I don't want any sudden moves, I don't want anything to happen to her, it seemed like it was a million miles down. So we are mid ride & they stop it, we are at a stand still & of course she said, "why did we stop?" I had all these reasons running through my head, but definitely couldn't share them w/ her, so we are looking at this amazing view. It is absolutely gorgeous!! I said to her, "aren't the mountains so beautiful?" She said, "yes they are." I said, "you know God made those just for us!? He wanted us to see how beautiful what He makes is!" She said, "He did!? He made those for us! That is nice, where does He live?" I said, "He lives right w/ us..in our hearts!!" She just kind of thought a minute, the ride started again & we started talking about something else. I didn't think about our talk until we got back to our cabin & those verses that I had tucked away came right back front & center & I had an "aha!" moment!! God isn't necessarily calling me to "go" far, He's asking me to get up-out of my comfort zone, & tell each person about Him. Of course there are people that He calls to be missionaries, to go to foreign places & do exactly what these verses say, but He also calls each of us to do the same w/ in our families, our work places, our communities. Somebody talked to us whether it was parents or somebody you knew, they took time to make sure you knew/know about God & all His greatness, love, & power, let's make sure we are doing our part & taking each opportunity to "Go & Make & Share!" Remembering it's not some casual thing God is asking, it's His Great Commission that He wants us to do!! And remember doesn't matter how young or old we may be or the people He puts in our lives, we've just got to tell!! Let's make sure we do that today!!!
