Bold

Would you consider yourself bold in your faith? 

Are you willing to step out of your comfort zone to find out if someone knows Jesus?

Do you ask? 

I can't speak for anyone but myself and I know that more often than not

I tip-toe around if I'm not sure people know Jesus

Surely I can tell by their actions and I can set an example by how I live, right? 

That is not what the Lord has called us to at all 

It is Easter season

The time God gave his Son 

To die, to bleed, to suffer and be separated from the Father

for MY filthy rags 

Only to powerfully raise him from the dead

To display his power, compassion, love and grace 

I was blown away today by a sweet little 6 year old 

Ellie came with me to help with a school assignment 

She was such a rockstar and did an awesome job

We got back in the car 

Without hesitation, she said 

"Kendall, are you a Christian?" 

I couldn't help but smile at her willingness to be bold

She didn't think twice about asking 

She wanted to know if I knew the same Jesus she did 

I assured her that yes I was

We continued to have a sweet conversation about what it means to be a Christian

What Jesus did and what that looks like in our lives 

I loved hearing her stories about Jesus

The faith of a child-so tender and sweet with such trust in Jesus
What a reminder to trust in our God
Who is sovereign over ALL things 

Jesus spoke straight to my heart through Ellie's sweet spirit today
Thank you to a beautiful, loved, bold Ellie-bug

Will you be bold this Easter season?
