Yesterday night I did not have any plans so I thought to myself, what an awesome opportunity have some long one on one time with Jesus. I decided to go somewhere outside because I wanted a different scenery and I wanted a chance to really appreciate God's nature. I road my bike over to my pool and sat up on a grassy hill by some trees. It was a really beautiful evening outside.
My devotional was about my spiritual honor and duty to help lost souls. Being a Christian is all about being selfless and focusing on other people who need prayer and love. It talked about how so many times we pray just for ourselves when there is a world out there of people who need more prayer than we do. We are to be Bondservants of Jesus because he died for us so that we may come to know him but also to go out and preach the good news: "I am free only that I may be an absolute Bondservant of His"
I decided to take my prayer and focus it on everyone else but me! I prayed that God would let me know who in my life needs prayer. All of a sudden He just kept popping names in my head. I wrote them down in my journal and wrote down things that I could be praying for them. I laid in the grass and just prayed for everyone that I wrote down for about an hour. It was so awesome and I just felt great because I was doing what God called me to do! After prayer I put my ipod in and listened to hillsong and just sat there in God's beautiful nature and worshiped. I decided to get on my bike and go on a bike ride around the neighborhood.
I just took the time yesterday to really sit down with Jesus and listen to what HE wants me to do and He definitely blessed our time together!
"I am obliged both to Greeks and non-Greeks, both to the wise and the foolish. That is why I am so eager to preach the gospel also to you who are at Rome." Romans 1:14
