King of the Nations

      Fear tells us to ostracise not love! So, I have known at least 2 Muslim women who have been so very gracious to me. I have never felt pressure to convert to their religion or do things the way they do. I am unwilling to force my beliefs on these dear ladies however, if I am ever asked the reason for my hope. My answer will be Jesus. I have been honored by their appreciation of the gift of hospitality God has granted me to be used for His service. Each woman has baked for my family. One entered my church to deliver the food. Both have been witnesses of our adoptions and find our choice to adopt across cultures to be honorable. I think God is speaking louder through my family than any words I could say. The 2nd woman I know was from years ago, all I know is that she would be one of the first in line to give Christ a drink or something to wear when he was naked. In doing this at the right moment she acknowledged Christ. Maybe she didn't go in front of the church and confess before everyone but her action was in a society where people saw what she did, just like the woman who broke the alabaster jar and Jesus told his followers to chill, she knew what was right. Is our God that big? King of the Nations, so an action done in the city streets, a restaurant or the library has a crowd of witnesses much like a church. Where did we get this idea you are only saved if you go to church, go to the front etc... Jesus wasn't in the synagogue for long during his ministry. He was in the streets and throughout the countryside. Let's keep Jesus out of the box and trust that he truly has the whole world in his hands.
