[16] For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.
(Romans 1:16 ESV)
As the music dies down and one by one, my friends stream out of the room, i wonder will i ever get to speak to them again?
indeed the biggest regret i have had in my 2 years in the VIP is that the gospel has not been preached enough. sure, i joke around with my friends, at times i mention Christ but seldom do i share the Gospel of Jesus Christ. the only thing that has the power the save, the only thing that will pull the souls of my friends out of hell is the Gospel, not my jokes, not my worthless conversations. Time and time again i say, i push aside this task, i make excuses for myself, but now time is up. if any of these friends were to perish right now, the guilt on me would be indescribable. i had 2 years to preach the gospel to them , at times i did, but at other times i ignored that tugging in my heart.
All is not lost, i will still see my class again soon enough, and Lord would You make me preach Your gospel. would You give me a burden for the lost that will not be lifted until Your gospel is preached. even as i go to india tomorrow, Lord help me to see Your world. To see Your people in need. To have a heart of compassion for a world without vision. that You would use me as Your light in this dark world. Use me to stand in the gap between the living and the dead.
