So I`ve been in Mexico City for a month. I leave in 2 days for some unknown place to me called Pachuca. People will remember me or forget me depending on the impact I had on them. My impact could be good or bad. There´s been quite a few people I´ve come into contact with here. Whether it was from reading the bible in the park and praying for people or the hours spent in church, or the children I´ve had the pleasure of loving on.
This city is beautiful. Full of people crying out for a savior, who are just waiting for someone like me to show them God´s love. Anxiously waiting for someone to tell them what life is really about. Ready for truth. This city needs a Savior. It needs saving. It needs redeemed. It needs me. I´m just one person with a little bit of spanish, what can I do? Oh, I can do a lot. I have an impact. Maybe not on the city itself but on the people who make up this city. This beautiful city. God´s City. Mexico City. Have you ever heard the song ¨God of this City¨? Well, the lyrics go like this
¨You´re the God of this city. You`re the King of these people. You´re the LORD of this nation, You are.¨
A couple more lines then:
¨Greater things have yet to come, Greater things are still to be done in this city.¨
Except last night I heard this song in spanish and the words were changed to Ïn Mexico¨ This song alone has an impact on me. I´m sick of wasting time waiting for someone else to come and impact this place. Why not me? I have just as much power in Jesús name as anyone else. I want to change Mexico. One person at a time. This city needs change. It needs what it has so desperatley lost. Hope. People like me can bring that. Mexico city may not have it´s sights on hope but it is NOT hopeless.
You see there´s these children that I´ve had the honor of playing with these last couple of weeks. They are sweet, exciting and extremely paitent with a show spanish speaker like me. They are the hope for this generation. Except how will they know that unless we show them that Jesús is hope. They are loved by Him. And oh how grand that love is. A love that would lay it´s life down for you, for me, and for every single Mexican living here. It´s time to Stara living a life unafraid of evangelizing. When will we wake up and realize this is a life or death matter? Life in Jesús or an eternity apart from Him. Do we care that our closest friends, our neighbors, our familias don´t know Jesús personally. Where is our heart for God´s people? ¨For God so loved the World. Total. Every person, race color, gender. That verse is so overlooked but what does it really mean? God sent his son to die for the World. For every person. He loves every person equally and wants to spend eternity with them. Except how Hill they know unless we obey and go forth. We are equipped to share the gospel. Do we go? No, we are afraid, timad and don´t relieve we can make an impact. WRONG. We can I´m not even talking about going away from your home to a foreign country, that´s awesome too and it´s what God´s called me to do, but i´m talking about the people you work with. Your neighbors, the lady in line at the grocery store. Don´t be scared, I was but i´m not anymore because this is about people´s souls. It is not fun and games. People need Jesús, they need hope. They´re crying out, wanting what they are missing. We can change that, we can make an impact.
We can bring hope and His name is Jesús.
