... people just need bold and courageous individuals in their lives to speak PURPOSE and ENCOURAGEMENT into them; people that are fearless enough and who know God's heart for people enough to speak loving truth into them; illuminating the fact that God has a very divine, and uniquely crafted purpose for their life in the very circumstance they find themselves wading in.... the newly retired 63 year old work-aholic, the recovering drug abuser, the single mom, the jobless, the aimless student....
They are in dire need for US to pierce their hearts with God's words of affirmation and purpose; washing them in unconditional love and encouragement; building their trust and giving them hope that God's brilliant plan IS at work and IS unfolding right before them; a plan that involves using their very failures and weaknesses for something greater than themselves; taking what is broken and reuniting it with its intended purpose and design; giving them a heart that hungers for the whole world to know the name of Jesus; the child of God that WILL answer the call to war and take the Gospel to those whose hearts so eagerly await the very life giving words of Jesus Christ. They can and will be "rocks" in our houses..... our church.
Jeremiah 29:11-14 - " For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I WILL listen to you. You WILL seek me and FIND me when you seek me with all your heart. I WILL be found by you, declares the Lord, "and will bring you back from captivity."
