107. He Has People You Don't Know Yet

Mark 11:3


Do you ever feel like you’re the only Christian you know? You ever feel like no one in your school or at your work or in your circle of friends loves Jesus and wants a life with Him, so when it comes to the most important thing in your life, you’re all alone? Here’s the thing: walking with Jesus can be a bewilderingly isolating life sometimes because it’s not just a system of beliefs, but a whole life change. In other words, it’s a way to live and it’s also a whole new you in the making. As a result, the changes you make in your own walk with the Lord can be so vast and drastic that it can sometimes feel as if you’re the only one making them. It’s easy to look around at all the self-centered worldliness and worthless frivolity in the people around you and feel like, “Dang! I’m the only person who cares about God in this whole place!” Well, even though it may feel that way sometimes, it’s not true. Jesus has people who love Him right there in your town. They are walking around your school and clocking into your work place. One time Jesus told his disciples to go into Jerusalem and fetch a donkey from some people they didn’t know. The disciples thought they knew everybody, but it turns out that Jesus already had people in that city, on His team, ready to go. Jesus has people around you who wake up in the morning, get on their knees and beg Him to get them through that day. These folks are just waiting to meet you and be your best friend. Ask Him to bring them into your life.
