Love Deeply
Love often compels us to do what we otherwise would NOT do. My wife, Laura, has an adventuresome spirit, but she does NOT like heights. But because she LOVES me, I was able to convince her to walk across a high canyon on nothing more than a cable. Because she LOVES me she crossed the canyon, and because I LOVE her I never asked her to do it again. Love COMPELS us. This is nowhere more true than in our witness for Christ.
In 2 Corinthians 5 the Apostle Paul explained it this way, (after saying, "We try to persuade others"): "For CHRIST'S LOVE COMPELS US..." Friends. we share our faith because Christ's love compels us. Through us, he offers each person we meet the greatest gift in the world. Love deeply, share the gospel openly, and you will be blessed! -Pastor Brad
