Dear Church,

Greetings in the blessed name of Jesus!

How are you doing? Another week had come and gone and I pray that you have had a very fruitful and blessed week. Sometimes when I think about it, it can get pretty scary because the days seem to be passing so quickly. Unknowingly, it is already Friday… and then Saturday and then Monday once again. And soon it will be December!!!

We are not getting any younger so I want to ask all of us to really seize our day. If there is a dream in your heart, pursue it. If there is someone that you love, express it. If there is any adventures still undone, go for it! If there is an idea in your mind, say it. Don’t be afraid of what people think. Don’t be easily discouraged by the words of men! There bound to be pessimists. There is bound to be people who will reject our ideas. But my dear friends, we only have one life to live. So why don’t we live it to the fullest, the best we know how for the glory of God? Why don’t we use all the talents and gifts that God has given to us and be a blessing? Touch a life. Heal a soul. Do something that would leave an indelible mark in this land that we love.

Jesus wants us to connect with the world out there. He wants us to be engaging. He wants us to witness to them and win them over. And that is the reason why He blesses us with gifts and empowers us with His Holy Spirit. So my friends, be real when we meet someone. Be sincere when we hang out with them. We have a lifetime to evangelize so let’s do this journey together with joy and love. Don’t rush. Don’t be pushy. Don’t be forceful. Take your time. Enjoy the friendship. Let the life of Christ flow out of you through your conduct and your speech.

With this new mindset, I truly believe our church will become more relevant and more in touch with the world.

Enjoy the ride,

KEV
