Speak Jesus

May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer. –Psalm 19:14 NIV

On occasion, as I am walking my dog, I run into a sweet bicyclist whose body has matured far beyond his mind. With a big grin and a wave, he pulls his bicycle over and begins to tell me accounts of what I see as his brother’s love. His brother built him a bedroom. His brother took him to the bait shop so he could catch a snook. His brother got him this bike and makes sure he wears his helmet! This sweet soul speaks of his brother so much that I find myself wanting to follow him home and see the amazing man who cares so deeply and lovingly for him. That leads me to wonder: when people leave my presence, are they awed by the One who cares so deeply for me? Have I conveyed how much I am loved, blessed, and provided for by my Heavenly Father? Do they know by my conversation that I have a Savior, Protector, and Lord who loves me so much that He willingly died so that I might live? Do they want a glimpse of my Father? Do they long to meet Him? I hope so. Both you and I need to speak Jesus! We need to speak Jesus so much that others will long to meet the one who loves us so deeply.
