When I gave my heart to Christ, I committed to living for a greater cause than just myself. In recent months, God has taken me on a journey towards discovering that higher purpose through sacrificial love.

 

I began working with LoveCompels in September 2017 when the Lord opened a door for me to assist in pushing digital communications forward. This door of favor that I thought would simply serve to help me on a resume was about to shift my entire world.

 

Before joining the team at LoveCompels, my worldview was hardly larger than the face I saw in the mirror and the people that I’ve built relationship with over the years. In the business of modern society, it can be quite easy to live with blinders on our eyes to the heartbreak that happens in our world, globally, every single day.

 

I felt over my head working for an organization that sought to reach the Arab world when I knew nothing about the people or the culture, let alone what it would take to reach them.

 

How am I supposed to play a part in this?

 

I remember my heart dropping to the floor when I found out that 42% of our world [3.14 billion people] have never heard about Jesus Christ or experienced His love. The gift of salvation that fills my earliest memories, is unheard of by those who would give anything to know a God who cares for them!

 

Suddenly, Christianity had an added significance. I saw that it had been just too easy for me to label myself a “Christian” without understanding my God-given responsibility to carry Christ into the world.

 

When I received Jesus, He turned me into something entirely NEW. He asked me to undress from my old selfish ways and to clothe myself in the divine nature of Christ, so that I could act as a bearer of light for my King.

 

“You’re here to be light, bringing out the God-colors in the world.

God is not a secret to be kept…” Matt 5:14 msg

 

My internship with LoveCompels has given me a deeper awareness that I am not put on this earth to live for myself, gain a few temporary treasures and die in vain.

 

When I wrap myself up in the compassionate heart of God and choose to allow my own heart to break for what breaks His, I begin to see that all He’s ever wanted is for every one of us to see the light of His love and come running home to Him.

 

Friends, we carry that light.

 

What are we going to do with it?
