Are You Ready?
I am ready to see the sun shine bright for longer than a couple of days in a row. I am ready to put the snow shovel and ice melt away until next winter. I am ready to see leaves bursting forth on trees. I am ready to see flowers decorating lawns. I am ready to hear the sound of birds chirping, lawnmowers humming, and kids playing outside. I am ready for some change in the weather. Are you ready?
I am ready for some Cardinal baseball. I am ready to see Albert Pujols play at the highest possible level and hear him give glory to God as he does. I am ready to smell suntan lotion and cut grass. I am ready for some grilled burgers and hot dogs. I am ready to end the life of the mole that was digging up my lawn in the fall (or at least have him move to my neighbors). Are you ready?
But this is what I really am ready for…
I am ready for more people to hear about the grace and love that God has shown us through His Son Jesus. I am ready for people to learn that walking with God is not about a religion but a relationship. I am ready for people to learn that God’s Word (the Bible) is a road map to life and a growing faith in God. I am ready for all people to see that God loves them no matter what their past has been. I am ready for people to see the joy, peace, truth, and forgiveness that Jesus offers each of us. I am ready for people to see that there is always hope for a better life as we apply the love and wisdom of God in our lives. I am ready for Oak Bridge to continue to be a place where people can easily learn to follow Jesus. Are you ready?
The Oak Bridge Center is ready to help us, as room grows limited at Keller. I ask that you pray for the people God has divine appointments scheduled with inside its doors. I ask that you consider joining others at this location when the doors for Sunday Worship open at the end of March. I ask that you pray for the people who are going to serve God with their time, talents, and resources there.
I am ready to see what God has in store for all of us at Oak Bridge as we continue to go on this journey with God. What a privilege it is to be a part of the most important work on planet Earth, making followers of Jesus who in turn make followers of Jesus!
Are you ready? It should be fun!
In His Amazing Grace,
Tom
