The man from whom the demons had gone out begged to go with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying, “Return home and tell how much God has done for you.” So the man went away and told all over town how much Jesus had done for him.
Luke 8:38-39
As strangers here in a fallen world the temptation can be great to have the same mindset as this demon possessed man who had been healed by Jesus and to long for and want to be with Jesus in our eternal home called heaven. Jesus would tell you the same thing that he told this man, that you have a job to do first, right where you are. You have a message to tell your family and friends and colleagues and neighbors of how Jesus has rescued your heart and set you free and how He has given you peace and joy and love as you abide with Him and journey to know and love Him more. God wants to use your right where you are today; in your job, in your neighborhood, in your school, at the gym, at the club – wherever God has placed you in this life, you can be sure that He has placed you there for a reason and has given you a story to tell to those around you. You have a story to tell by the way that you live your life, by the love of God that flows out of your heart, and yes, by also using words as you are directed by the Holy Spirit. Live you life today to tell of the Greatness of God and how Jesus has indeed set your heart free!
