acts

I finished reading Acts last night. It was a pretty good read. So many cool miracles and stuff - would have been great to live in those times. What I liked most about it was how people like Paul, Barnabus, Peter, John, Stephen, Philip and all the others kept making the most out of opportunities to evangelise to the people they met. Acts had so many accounts of people coming to believe in Christ and people like these fellas being used to lead them to salvation.

That's one thing that I really want in my life - to be used by God in the same way. Lord willing, I would like to go on a mission trip someday and go from city to city telling people about God. How awesome would that be?? I hope this is in God's will for me somewhere down the track of my life - whether it be while I am single, or with church, or with my future husband, or with friends, or with my family. And if it doesn't happen, well, I guess I could always read Acts again and pretend that I am there hehe.

I also love how Paul was so brave and was just so determined to live for God and proclaim His word - regardless of the consequences. And I love even more, that God preserved him through so many situations and delivered him from prison, riots and even death. It is SO good to be a Christian! Knowing that God is on our side, we can also have that same confidence as Paul - imagine the possibilities if we realised that and lived life like Paul did...

Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, no man forbidding him [Acts 28:31]
