Last night and this morning there was a heaviness in my soul. It was a burden for the people that came and went yesterday.

All dressed in their “Sunday” best…their “time for church” looks and smiles…But, inside I wondered why they came. Where they looking for a change in their life? Where they attending with family or friends, because that is what you were supposed to do on this day? Where they visiting to see what church is like “today”, verses 10-12 years ago? Where they truly looking for a personal change to possibly take place as they entered the building or as they left?

Then I ask myself, what did those people walk in and find? So many greeting were given to all, smiles and big welcomes. And much hospitality was given.

But what did they hear, what did they feel? Did they receive a clear understanding of the one that was resurrected so many years ago? It was to be a resurrection celebration! Did they hear that Jesus is the only way to having a changed life? Where they challenged to be different, challenged to share their faith, and to personally seek Him daily?

Will they return to a weekend service? Will they look deeper into the Word of YHWH? Will they look for a church community where they can get involved?

My prayer today is that they will look for a deeper relationship with the Savior. Our perfect example of being obedient to the Father. And they will look for a place where they can grow in scripture. And learn what being a Christ-follower is truly about.

Prayerful,

Cindy
