What is Christianity anyway?
“Be strong, and let your heart take
courage, all you who wait for the LORD”
-Psalm 31:24
Yesterday, all throughout the day, the
school was of one mind and one accord. Every class period began with
the usually taking of prayer requests...
Raised hand.
“There is a student on campus getting
a heart transplant today, I think we should pray for her”
The rest of the class nodded in
agreement, as they had all witnessed her testimony the other night.
This frail eighteen year old woman shared her story of being sick
most her life, her heart was failing. Since the age of seven, she had
been confined to her hometown, unable to leave, in the hope she would
receive the phone call that would change her life: “You're heart is
ready, we have a heart for you”
It wouldn't take much after a speech
like that to milk her condition for all it was worth. But then, I am
told, she stared her classmates in the eyes with a supernatural beam,
and said the following:
“Don't feel sorry for me, I know God
WILL give me a heart, any day now”
She received the call within hours.
In studying the original language of
the passage above, you will find that the Hebrew for “heart” can
be translated as “will” or “mind”. So in other words, “Have
your minds strengthened, you people waiting on God”
What is Christianity?
Christianity is the continued of
process of being strengthened by God to make a difference for God.
He strengthens our hearts for the
fight, and our patience when He takes over the fight for us.
Congratulations little sister, on the
new heart.
In Him,
Jean-Marc
