Always On

A man came to GCC for the first time 9 days ago. Check this out...

1. He went to church on Sunday.
2. He volunteered at the Community Center on Tuesday morning.
3. He attended 1st Wednesday service.
4. He bought a Bible, Message translation! (Love that version!)
5. He went to 2nd Saturday to volunteer.
6. He came to a weekend service on Saturday night. At that service, he decided to move from an admiring fan of Jesus to a committed follower! 

A neighbor who he'd only talked to one time, about 6 months ago, invited him. As he told me Saturday night, "This has been quite a week for me!" Yeah - I'd say so! 

Who is watching you?

What are they noticing about you?

When will they remember it?

I received an email about 12 days ago about this same guy. It was from one of our amazing volunteer leaders. He wrote, "I received a phone call this morning from a neighbor, and I'm not sure what to do. I had one 15 minute conversation with him about 6 months ago. He said that he could tell from our prior conversation that I had a strong faith in God and wanted advice in that direction. He said that he didn't know anyone else to turn to. I invited him to come to GCC. The call rattled me a little. The reality hit me this morning after that phone call that people truly are watching us."

He was just living his life as a follower of Jesus. It made a difference.

Every miracle begins with what you can do and ends with what God can do!

This is a great read as a REMINDER...it's not always what we say - but HOW WE LIVE... as the old saying goes: "Actions speak louder than words".

Thanks for this post... it's inspired me to "Step it up" & LIVE IT. ;)
