Psalm 34:15“The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears are attentive to their cry.”
Imagine a world where every last man, woman, and child knows God loves them. Knows they were created on purpose and with a purpose. It’s a beautiful vision… because it’s God’s vision, too. His heart aches with compassion for all those drowning in the inevitable hopelessness of a fallen world. He longs to draw all people to Himself, and His love is what draws people. It’s what drew you to Jesus, too.
2 Peter says God doesn’t want anyone to be destroyed by their own sin. He wants everyone to come to repentance. God is the only one who can save us from destruction and bring us into freedom, healing, wholeness, flourishing, and eternal life. And so many people are suffering without God in their lives—without the sure promise of Heaven that brings so much hope. Will you ask God to let you feel His love for all the lost and wandering people of the world? Will you ask Him to fill your heart with His compassion?
The Gospel brings the Good News of hope that so many people are already hungry for. Luis Palau once said that he knew it wasn’t his job to brilliantly persuade people, merely to joyfully present Jesus’s offer to us all. Nothing fancy, just the truth. He used to say, “Proclaiming the Gospel doesn’t mean walking around with a sermon prepped and stuffed into your back pocket. It’s much simpler than that. It’s my mother, smiling and sharing the truth over steaming coffee in her house in Argentina. It’s just saying the Good News: “God loves you. He has a plan for your life. If you are honest enough to repent and believe, you will be forgiven and become a child of God. He will never leave you, He will live within you, and when you die, you will go to heaven.” That’s a pretty good deal. Why not proclaim it?
Not everyone will preach to millions in crowded stadiums, but everyone is charged with spreading the Gospel. God is looking for those willing to obey and simply share the Good News. The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Are you willing to let God use you to share Jesus with others and help bring many into God’s kingdom?

Reflections: Who do you think God might want you to share the Gospel with? Will you take a moment to ask Him?
Prayer: Lord, I know Your heart aches for the world’s hurting people. You love every one of them. You made each of them in Your image, and You know each by name. Would You come with Your Holy Spirit and fill me with the same love—even the same ache of compassion You feel? Move me immediately to share the Good News of Your love and salvation with everyone I meet. Use my voice, my time, and my life, to be Your voice of love in the world. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
1 Peter 3:12“For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears are attentive to their prayer. But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”
