"Depart From Me Ye Cursed"

I was driving in my car the other day and came to a stop at a red light. I was watching all of the other people go past me in the other lane and started thinking about something that I had never really thought about before. Every person that I saw driving by me God decided to create in His very own image, He has so much love that He wants to give them, He has a plan for them, He sent His only son to die for them so that they would never have to be seperated from Him in eterenity, and He depserately seeks fellowship with them and wants them home safely someday. The sad fact is this: many of those faces I saw will never experience God's love, they will reject Him and the sacrifice Christ made at the cross, they will have a hopeless and useless existence till their last breath and for all eternity as they are seperated from Him because of their own bad decisions. Why is this the likely scenario for so many of them? BECAUSE WE THE BODY REFUSE TO LET OUR LIGHT SHINE!!! We don't want to speak out against sin because we dont want to offend anyone and feel like a hypocrite, we won't witness to anyone except through our actions because it makes us feel "weird" and uncomfortable. I think that many times we forget what is at stake. The very soul of another human being will FOREVER be banished to outer darkness and in eternal torment seperated from a God who loves them as if they were the only one ever created. I've often said to people...what would spending a half hour in hell do to our witness? I can guarantee you we all would be shouting of God's salvation wherever and whenever we were able. I saw a really interesting book at Barnes and Noble called "23 Minutes in Hell" by Bill Weise. Some people have a near death experience and see what heaven is like....this guy got the flipside of the coin and the story is unbelievable. I highly recommend it so that you can see the absolute horror that unbelievers have awaiting them. May God annoint you in your persuit to win souls for Him.

P.S. In case I failed to mention it above please do not assume that I take a "high and mighty" approach to this subject because I do not. I am just as guilty if not more of not letting my light shine as bright as I could or should. I really do want God to increase my love for others and my witness ten fold.....I will pray that He does the same for you.
