jumbogerber - 5 years!

We are enjoying a wonderful break while also celebrating our 5^th wedding anniversary. We are immensely blessed to be on an island and to be staying in a very nice hotel right on the ocean. We are enjoying every minute of being here! Long walks on the beach, swimming, being together, reading, watching beautiful sunsets ... the works, but we are also glad that we have a ‘real life' to go back to, even though it is hard at times. This is like a special gift from God, almost like Him showing us that He sees our every effort to ‘let His kingdom come here on earth'. But for us there is definitely more to life than sitting on the beach!

Even though the island is off the coast of Africa, a very large number of the population is from Indian descent and the Hindu religion is very big on this island. Every where you go you will see shrines and temples. On one of our island tours we visited an important Hindu pilgrimage site. I think it was a hard and sad visit for us. We believe that we serve and worship the One and Only true God, but so do they. How do we convince people otherwise? How do we share what we believe as true without coming over as arrogant?

I don't think we can! I think God has to reveal Himself to them, and many times I think He wants to use us. People need to see something different in our lives. Something that they don't have, but want! People need to see our passionate faith in God, especially when times are hard. People need to see our passionate love relationship with Him where it is not about rules or laws, but where we follow Him with our whole being because we love Him. People need to experience God's love for them through us loving them, accepting them, caring for them.

People need to see that our God is real!! First we need to LIVE the Gospel and once people start asking questions, we can SHARE the Gospel of the Good News with words!

"For the Kingdom of God is not a matter of talk, but of power." !!!!!!!

(1 Cor. 4:20)
