One of the things I am most focused on right now is ensuring that I am loving the people I come into contact with, whether accidentally or intentionally. Am I showing them the love of Christ by being authentically interested in them and their lives and am I pushing my own boundaries of comfort on a daily basis? In continuing to read Starving Jesus, I’ve come across the following excerpt:

Setting that course for utter dependence on God means giving up everything and creating outreach that leaves people thinking. Blind faith in the hands of the hungry yields power and freedom to do anything short of sin to capture the imagination and passion of any generation on the planet. With that freedom and power comes a responsibility to keep yourself level and strong before God as you reach into your community in the name of Christ. …

… Get outside and touch the hand of someone with needs.  

What do you think of that? I for one want to make sure that I am pushing that envelope to reach out and share the love I got from Jesus first with those who also get it first.
