Missing the Mark in Ministry

by Jordan, posted in Uncategorized

I was at lunch with a friend this week, talking about the things the Lord is teaching us in this season. She said one of her recent prayers was, “Lord, thank you for letting me fall short, so I know where the end of me is.”

It was a gut punch.

Because I hate when I fall short.
I hate when I let people down.

And I just want to implore you:
If you see someone on the edge of the bridge,

GRAB THEM.

“I want to know Jesus, and I want to break my addictions, but Christianity sounds kind of boring. I don’t know if I want to give up everything that makes me happy, and I’m not sure I can make myself read the Bible all the time. I don’t know if I can do this.”

That was my thought process when I heard the altar call:
I don’t know if I can do this.

And, as it turns out, I couldn’t.

But Jesus said:
Just come to Me.
