Yesterday
was Palm Sunday, and towards the end of his message, my pastor
brought a challenge to the congregation to invite eight people to
church on Easter. I took the cards with me to lunch and sat outside
the fountain considering who I could invite. After spending my entire
lunch hour racking my brain for people who I knew didn't already have
their own place of worship on Sundays, I could only come up with six
people that I knew. That stung me, because it really made me realize
how essential it is that I don't let myself get caught in my own
'Jesus bubble' filled with only people of the same mindset as myself.
I see the importance in having that support system of people who will
keep you on track and lift you up in your faith, but I realized that
at the same time we are called to go be a light in the darkness, and
its impossible to do that if you always hangout in the room with the
light already on.
