Let Love Reach it's Destination 

 

 

I still remember when I first heard this message.  A friend and I sat on her grandparents' old couch in the basement, pushed the chunky VHS tape into the video player, and watched a young John Dawson(later to become the President of YWAM) sharing about this simple thought.  How often do we desire to reach out, to express our care, concern and encouragements to those around us?  Yet something holds us back, and that message of love never reaches it's 'destination'.  Consequently, the opportunity to bless and see others built up is missed.  His message was simple, yet profound.  We love because He first loved us.   Let love reach it's destination.

 

I've often been reminded of this through the years, especially when I'm tempted to withold a life-giving word of love and encouragement.  But I admit I've mostly thought of it in terms of my own personal relationships.  Today I was struck by the broader, wider scope of this statement as I read an update, written by Rebecca*, a young teenage girl living in Central Asia with her family.

Leaving the Ninety-Nine for the One

 

 

"Men- taoee- graoee!"

 

This was the cry of the Khmer people at the national YWAM conference in Siem Reap, Cambodia a few weeks ago. "Don't go back!" was their call. This united cry could convince anyone that this generation in Cambodia is determined to be changed by the love of Christ. Their commitment to "press on toward the prize" (Php 3:14) opened my eyes to see that God's plan has been at work for a long time now. The Khmer people who were once lost are so thankful for the new life in Christ that they can't help but share Jesus with others. These are first generation Christians going back to their villages and starting churches, schools, hospitals and more. This really is a story of redemption.

 

Jesus left the flock of ninety-nine sheep to search after the one lost sheep (Matthew 18/Luke 15). In my own life I'm compelled to share the love that I have been shown from the Lord. He rescued me from the pit of Hell. Now I have revelation that Jesus loves the lost so much that He would come down to our level and is moving the hearts of the "once lost sheep" to go back out. And in this, a movement is being birthed from one village to the next.

 

The time we live in is so unique. Buddhists are coming to me asking about Jesus! Numerous times this year I've sat before groups of Buddhists and dialogued about Jesus. They are interested, open and hungry because God is going before us and preparing the way. Your prayers are making a difference. Your prayers for God to open up the hearts of unbelievers are affecting the world. We get the opportunity to follow in His steps and join in on seeing His story unfold! What an honor! What an exciting time to live!

 

I'm 22 years old and have been overly blessed by the opportunities God has given to me. I want you to know that God is at work over here. People are coming into a relationship with Jesus everyday and you are a part of it! Your prayers, support, and encouragements fuel us and prepare hearts for the seeds of the gospel to be sown. One day in Heaven Jesus will show you the influence your prayers and obedience amassed. You will meet people that your prayers affected and get to worship the King with them! It's going to be quite the party!

 

From our hearts on the front line I want to thank you for your involvement in seeing Gods Kingdom built. We can't do what we do without you!

 

"I pray you will all be able... to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ.." -Ephesians 3:18
