One place that has been a part of my life since I was little was Camp YoliJwa. My family and I have been going to camp for many years. For about the last 10 years we go to family camp. On the last day of family camp, we typically have fireworks. The firework show is neat to watch. We enjoyed watching the show one night at camp.
The next morning,
we got up and got our cleaning assignment which was to clean the grounds around
camp. For the most part it was not a big deal because most people at family
camp clean up their trash. Then we went up to the hill where they were setting
the fireworks off. There were firework scraps everywhere! It was just my
sister, mom, and I cleaning up and it was an area larger than a football field.
There we no way we would be able to clean it all up alone in 30 minutes. Nevertheless,
we began to clean.
30 minutes passed and we had only gotten half of the place cleaned. We ended up going down to the front desk to ask for help. They made an announcement that we needed help to clean up the fireworks. People began to come to help. We finished cleaning up the rest in 15 minutes. That would not have happened if we didn't have people come help us. This situation is just like spreading the gospel. Each of us alone cannot spread the gospel to all the lost. However, if we all do our part the gospel can be spread to the lost quickly.
We are each
called to do our part to spread the gospel to different people and in different
ways. The Lord gave us each a gift to use to reflect his glory. When we each
use our gifts to spread the gospel it gets spread quickly. It is important for
us to remember that the lord entrusted us with this awesome
responsibility.
So, are you
spreading the gospel as you have been called to do? What can you do to share
the gospel today?
