Read: Matthew 28:16-20

Who is one person you want God to reach this year? 

One of the best ways to live on purpose is to devote your life to making Heaven more crowded. Do you have someone in your life who is far from God? Maybe it’s your spouse, child, or parent. Maybe it’s a friend, roommate, or coworker. Or maybe it’s a celebrity, athlete, or politician. Whoever it is, there is a reason they are on your heart. 

If you feel like they are too far gone for God to save, remember Paul's story in the Bible. Before Paul was the church-planting Apostle, who wrote 13 of the 27 books of the New Testament, he was persecuting the church. He was beating, stoning, and killing Christians left and right. Paul was doing everything he could to stomp out the Christian movement. But then God got ahold of him on the road to Damascus and completely transformed his life.  

If Paul wasn’t too far gone for God to save, neither is the person on your heart. We need to stop playing small and praying timid prayers. 

Today, unapologetically ask God to save that person. And if there is a tangible way for you to reach out and encourage them, do it. If nothing else, send them a quick text and let them know how much you care about them!

Prayer: Father, today I pray for __________. Bring them into a  relationship with you in Jesus' name! Wherever they are right now, I pray that you will show them how much you love them. Thank you for dying for their sins, even if they can't see it or believe it yet. Lord, would you show them that love today in a really tangible way and give me a creative way to help in the process? Thank you that no one is too far gone for your love to reach, in Jesus' name, amen.
