Is it in you? Is it coming out of you?

Jeremiah 20:9 But if I say, “I will not mention his word or speak anymore in his name,” his word is in my heart like a fire, a fire shut up in my bones. I am weary of holding it in; indeed, I cannot.

You are surrounded with opportunities to share the love of Christ. Let me be the first to say that I have not done it every time Christ has asked me to, but I try my best. Whether it is good news or bad news (I would like to think it is all good news), Christ has given you a message to share. The question is this: is it in you? If that burning message is in you, then here is the next question: is it coming out of you? We were made to share the good news of Jesus Christ. He was alive here on the earth. He died so that we could be save. Now, he lives in us, THE CHURCH!!!

We are free. We are free to live a great life. That's the message that makes me burn.

A friend once told me that they, the lost, may not want to catch fire, but they will come to see you burn. So, get it out of you and sit back as people watch in amazement. They will want what you have.

IS IT IN YOU? IS IT COMING OUT OF YOU?
