I'm sitting here, 11:30 at night trying to figure out what I want to talk about today. I learned so much today yet it made me realize I still have so much to learn. I think the one thing that stuck out the most was from Sunday School. We've been studying about spiritual renewal. One of the things that hit home for me was the need to share the gospel with others.

We were discussing how if I'm not renewed in God then when I present the gospel to someone, it rings hollow because there are no actions to back up what I am saying. The teacher told a story of how he tried to sell some cutlery but failed due to his lack passion for the product. How do you sell something if you yourself don't believe in it? That used to be me. I couldn't share Jesus because I didn't believe it myself. Not only was I spiritually dead, I had no actions to validate my faith. This is something I still struggle with. I was away from God so long that the things I knew about God 10 years ago are different and not relevant to me now. How can I share Jesus with people if I don't have a relationship with Him. As someone put it this morning is Sunday school, it would be like trying to sell a car without knowing anything about the car. How can I share Jesus if I don't study His word, pray to Him daily and constantly seek his face?

Lord continue to renew my soul. Continue to fan the fire that burns within me to serve you and to go where ever you lead. Give me the strength and confidence to share the salvation of Jesus with others. Continue to place a desire in my heart to seek your face and your direction for my life. I can't do anything, but God can do everything.
