 𝐓𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐲 𝐟𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫. 31 years ago, everything changed.
Before that day, I attended church. I read the Bible. I knew the language of Christianity. But I did not know Jesus Christ. I did not have salvation. Then the truth pierced my heart. I understood that I had broken God’s Law. I was not “mostly good.” I was a sinner. And I was on a “religious road” toward hell. But that same truth showed me mercy. Jesus Christ—God in flesh—lived the life I could never live. He shed His precious blood on Calvary for my sins. He was buried. And three days later, He rose again in victory. And on that evening, 31 years ago, I believed it. Not casually. Not intellectually. I believed with all my heart. I called upon the Lord Jesus Christ to save me—and He did. And I must testify: Jesus Christ has been faithful. People have failed me. Christians have disappointed me. The church has not always shown up. But Jesus has never once failed me. Not once. Christ’s presence has carried me all along the way. His peace has steadied my heart. His Holy Bible has guided my steps along this journey of life. Now I want to ask you a simple question: Might you be like me? Perhaps you attend church. Perhaps you believe in God. But deep down, you know you have never repented of your sins and placed your full trust in Jesus Christ alone. Friend, you will go to hell. But the good news is that today is the day to repent of your sins. To turn to Christ Jesus with all of your heart. To believe upon Christ. Call on Chris right now—and He will save you. And feed upon His Word each day to get to know Him more and more. You will never regret giving your life to Jesus Christ—not in this life, and not in eternity.  We were out handing out sandwiches and spending time with people on the streets—listening to their stories, and sharing the Word of God. As we walked, we came upon a woman lying on the sidewalk. For a moment, I genuinely thought she was dead. When she finally moved and let us know she was alive, we sat down beside her, talked with her, and shared a sandwich. What began as a simple act of kindness quickly became a holy moment.
As we talked, we shared with her what the Bible says—that God loves her. Really loves her personally and intentionally. We told her that God desires to be part of her life: to offer salvation, new life, belonging, family, and hope. As she listened, tears began to fall. She kept repeating the same words over and over: “Why? I am not worthy. I don’t understand why God would want to save me.” Her pain was raw, and her question was honest. And here is where she was both right—and wrong. She was right in recognizing that she is not worthy—none of us are worthy. Not one of us earns forgiveness, deserves mercy, or qualifies ourselves for new life in Christ. Grace is not something we achieve; it is something we receive. But where she was wrong was in believing that her unworthiness disqualified her from God’s love. She could not accept the truth that God sees her as worthy to save—not because of who she is, but because of who Jesus Christ is. It is good and healthy to know we are unworthy of such a gift. But it becomes pride when we refuse to receive that gift. When we insist that our brokenness is too unworthy, we are saying that the bloodstained cross of Calvary is not sufficient. Yet the gospel of Jesus Christ tells us the opposite: God does not save us because we are worthy—He saves us because He is good. And in that goodness, He offers us a new name, a new life, and the right to be called His children through the blood of Jesus Christ. I am still praying she will one day believe that and receive Christ Jesus. Lawrence Bowman www.MissionFrontier.info  A couple of weeks ago, I met this man on the street. I felt a deep nudge to speak with him about Christ, but he wasn’t open to talk with me—and I respected that. Sometimes the most loving thing we can do is honor someone’s “not yet.” I walked away that day trusting that God was still at work, even when I couldn’t see it.
Then today happened. I was walking down another street when he saw me, came toward me, and began a conversation—on his own. Somewhere in these two weeks, God must have been doing something beautiful in his heart. He welcomed encouragement from God’s Word, and as I spoke, I realized something unexpected: I was the one being strengthened. His presence, his openness, his simple willingness reminded me that God doesn’t rush hearts—God is always at work, preparing them, even when it seems like nothing is happening at all. It made me wonder: how often do we mistake delay for denial? How often do we assume nothing is happening because we cannot control the timing? This was a reminder for me, and maybe for you too: be patient with people, trust God with the process, and never underestimate what He can do in the quiet in-between moments. Sometimes what feels like a closed door is just a 𝑏𝑙𝑒𝑠𝑠𝑒𝑑 𝑠𝑢𝑟𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑠𝑒 waiting to happen. Lawrence Bowman www.MissionFrontier.info |
