“This is why it is said: “Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.” Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Ephesians‬ ‭5‬:‭14‬-‭16‬ ‭NIV‬‬

When I read these verses and surrounding verses from Paul, I am energized in my faith. I am convicted to ask myself the questions; am I making the most of every opportunity? Or am I letting sin get in the way? Last Wednesday Deborah asked the question; have you seized an opportunity to share Christ with others? I would like to expand on that. I know for myself, I sometimes let my sin get in the way from sharing Christ. I think, who am I to share when I have sinned?

Our Choir Director sang a song Sunday called, Just as I am. In that song the broken are mended, the wounded are healed, the desperate are rescued, the empty are filled, and the guilty are pardoned. God called each of us to be a disciple no matter our sin and where we are in our Christian walk. By being transparent with our sins, we can help the lost to see that we are all in need of a savior. How will you make the most of every opportunity today?

Take a moment to worship and be inspired! I have included a version of Sunday’s song, just as I am. I have also included a song that has helped me to be a disciple and share Christ with others.
