Can you believe
that in this modern day that we live
far removed from gladiators and arenas
and Christians being fed to lions
that we still have people being killed
for nothing more than believing in God
and trying to tell everyone about him.
It is hard to believe
that some of the people being killed
aren’t people from across the ocean
who grew up knowing violence
who lived their lives in poverty
who don’t know what they are missing
over here where we live
It is hard to believe
that some people feel the call of God so strongly
that they are willing to go
where it is dangerous to go
that they are willing to walk into the face of death
with nothing more than God on their side
It is hard to believe
that in this modern day that we live
there are still people who are willing to believe
that God is the only hope
and that he calls his followers to tell the world
So the question becomes
what do you believe?
Do you believe that there are people
who are dying to know the love of God
Do you believe that there are people
who are hurting and hungry
and waiting for someone to come and tell them?
do you believe?
And if you do believe
will you go
will you tell
will you help
will you touch
will you love
people who may never love you back
will you be a light
be a friend
be a comfort
be a messenger of hope
Will you go even though you may not return?
Do you believe?
Will you go?
