Time is NOT his Friend

Romans 10: 13 For "everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."

14 How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? 15 And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!"

Here I go Again

"Father, hear my prayer
I need the perfect words
Words that he will hear
And know they're straight from You
I don't know what to say
I only know it hurts
To see my only friend slowly fade away

Chorus:
So maybe this time
I'll speak the words of life
With Your fire in my eyes
But that old familiar fear
is tearin' at my words
What am I so afraid of?
'Cause here I go again
Talkin' 'bout the rain
And mullin' over things
that won't live past today
And as I dance around the truth
Time is not his friend
This might be my last chance
to tell him that You love Him

But here I go again
Here I go again

Lord, You love him so
You gave Your only Son
If he will just believe
He will never die
But how then will he know
What he has never heard?
Lord he has never seen mirrored in my life

Chorus:

But here I go again
Here I go, here I go

Chorus:

This might be my last chance
To tell him that You love him
This might be my last chance
To tell him that You love him

You love him, You love him
What am I so afraid
What am I so afraid
What am I so afraid of?
How then will he know
What he has never heard?"
Casting Crowns

More than I would like to admit I have NOT talked about the important things in life. I have often been "mullin' over things" rather than share the love of Christ with those I have come in contact with.

With God's help I desire/resolve to be the one who tells others about what God has done in my life and what He can do in their lives. I desire to take the opportunities God gives, use the strength and courage He also gives and then wait for Him to give me the words to say. I must have His Word implanted in me before the time comes, so He can bring it back out.

It is amazing to me that He can bring back verses I have read and "stick them in the conversation" right at the right time. I often think, "did I just say that? How did I remember that verse?" He uses His Word to change us, and then to change others around us. But we must be putting it in, for Him to bring it back out.

We need to encourage others to be bold, because this conversation you are about to have might be the last time they have the opportunity to hear the perfect Word. Pray for me, as I can't do this without Him working in me.
