Eric Ludy - Depraved Indifference

His Hands and Feet...Amazing! God calls us to be the Hands and Feet of Jesus Christ! Just think about that for a moment. It deeply impacts me in a great way! It is so amazing! A tear rolls down my cheek as I watch the little boy (in the video below) flash across the screen, knowing that he has no clothes, food, house, or anyone to love and care for him; realizing that there are many more (more than I probably even know) children out there with no hope for the future!

It makes me want to run to them, tell them I love them and will take care of them, if no one else will, not caring what anyone else thinks of me, and plant a seed of hope in their heart (the hope only found in Jesus Christ), and watch it grow into something beautiful, something only the hand of God-The God that made heaven and earth, that made everything else beautiful, The one and only true God, MY God-could create!

Brothers and Sisters, when you share the gospel with other people, there are some that will not take your advice, they will have a hardened heart, and despise and reject you and the truth. But do not be discouraged in the face of ridicule, my friends... Be encouraged by God and His Word which says, Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. (Matthew 5:10-11)

--

He also says in that same chapter, later on, Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; that ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. (Matthew 5:43-45)

--

So when you are faced with persecution, rejection, and are despised, do not give up hope! Continue sharing Christ's love with them, and most of all pray for them. Pray that Christ will work to soften their hearts, so that they may accept the truth of God's Word. Cause ultimately, He is the One that does the convicting. You would never get through to them by yourself. Jesus Christ is the only One who will soften their hearts, and give them salvation! This video is what made me say all this, even though I did get a little off of where I was going... But I just wanted to share all that with you anyways. This video touched me deeply, and I hope it touches and encourages you to share His Word with people, and bring glory to Jesus Christ with all that you do and say. Have a wonderful day, my Brothers and Sister, Friends and Family, and whoever else may be reading this. :) Enjoy! :)

P.S. I am in the process of redoing my blog, as you maybe can tell, so bare with me as I get it all set up to how I want it to be! :) I couldn't decide on a verse, so I did all three. :)

1 Peter 4:11

If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion forever and ever. Amen.

Psalm 115:1

Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth's sake.

1 Corinthians 10:31

Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.
