The Urgency of Investing in One Life Today
The Urgency of Investing in One Life Today
Time is precious, and the window of opportunity to share the Gospel and invest in others is not unlimited. Just as Luke wrote with urgency, knowing that eyewitnesses were aging and stories could be lost, we are called to act now. Souls are eternal, and the mission is too important to put off for “someday.”
Ask God to show you your “Theophilus”, someone you can disciple, encourage, or walk alongside as God’s story continues to unfold. Step into the mission with intentionality and courage, knowing that your investment in one life can echo for generations.
Colossians 4:5-6 (KJV): “Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time. Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.”
Reflection: Who is one person God is putting on your heart to invest in spiritually? What is one step you can take today to begin or deepen that relationship?
