Always Refocus

One thing I’ve been thinking about is my call here to Gospel for Asia. Our Christian brothers and sisters in Asia lay their lives on the line for what they do. Often times they are attacked by people or groups. They could be at church, at home, or out sharing about the love of Jesus and they will be attacked. In their sacrifice how do I stand for them? Do I often cry in prayer for them? Purposely make a point even out of the office to share about their lives with others? What things take up my time I could spend better elsewhere? I could go on with tons of questions that I’ve been having.

It is easy for Christians to get caught up in the world instead of living with a focus on the things of God. Continually reassess our values.

Stay sharp.

But the awesome thing is despite how lacking I am God is so graceful. He looks at me not at where I am but where I can be and encourages me toward that, and He uses the awesome staff here at GFA a lot to do that :) But in everything I want to do it for God’s glory, whether graphic design, prayer, driving, playing soccer, playing guitar (I’ve been trying to learn), or spending time with others. I want to do it all well. There is no “spiritual task” because Christ is in me and everything is done with him, so even the simplest thing can be pleasing to him :)
