The REAL Disaster

Most of the planet woke up either running for their lives or seeing images on tv of people running for their lives because of the earthquake in Japan and the tsunami that is following in various places. So many lives lost and what a great disaster. In these dark times we Christians need to continu to shine His Light and to point to Jesus as the Anker of Hope and the Rock that gives us a firm foundation when storms and difficult times come our way. Amidst all of the bad reports and even all of the people speaking about the "end times", we should remember that the MOST important thing we Christians could do right now is to be an instrument for God to speak and work through and to reach the lost and fearful ones. Yes, there will be trials and tribulations and there are many, yes MANY people who live in fear and anxiety about what the future holds. But that shouldn't be you! When you accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, your future changed in an instant. Your spirit was made alive to God and from that day on you have had the oppertunity to build your relationship with Him. To thank Him, praise Him, worship Him, love Him, Bless Him, Exalt Him, allow Him to do great things through you and when you die you will stand face to face with Him and you shall not fear that moment! But for now there is a great work for all of us to fulfill. For us to be rooted in Jesus Christ, to stand firm when storms come to this world and to continu to shine His light and speak of His love to whoever will hear! The greatest disaster would be that we; that call ourselves Christians stop speaking to others about Jesus being our eternal Hope and Savior, when we ourselves have fear and anxiety for the future and when we stop shining His Light in the darkness. The greatest disaster is when there seems to be no hope for the Lost, the ones wandering in the darkness and live in fear. That to me is the greatest disaster. I know that we can reach so many out there. In difficult and confusing times like this when mankind is looking for answers to hard questions, for hope amidst hopelessness and peace amidst of chaos, we have a duty, an obligation, a calling and an opportunity to reach them, to speak of hope and truth and life to so many, to connect or even reconnect people with their Maker and give an eternal Hope. Let's stir up the desire to reach the fearful, the restless ones, to reach the lost. Let's think back to what we experienced ourselves when we were transferred from the kingdom of darkness to The Kingdom of Light through Jesus Christ and how it changed and impacted us. Let's spread this hope and life to the people around us. In these dark times, give the best gift you could ever give to someone else; Jesus Christ!
