Beautiful Feet

As a runner, I do not have beautiful feet.  I have feet and toes that are calloused and blistered.  And honestly, I don't care.  I'd rather run than have beautiful feet. : )

But, to God- I have beautiful feet!  How do I know that?

Romans 10:15b
How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news of good things!”

Every Thursday night I get the pleasure of sharing the truth of Who Jesus is- to teenage boys that have been- abused, broken, hurt- in ways you can't even imagine.  9 out of 10 come from homes so broken they don't know that they are broken because it's so normal.

These teenage boys have been hit hard by cycles of sin in their families.  And unless someone goes TO THEM and ministers Jesus to their brokenness, their hurts, their besetting sins- they will never change.  They will grow to be old men in prison with children that follow in their footsteps. 

But how do you come out of this brokenness and find life, joy, freedom, victory and peace if someone doesn't tell you?  And SHOW you?  How can you or me or these boys be saved from a life of defeat?  A life of giving in to sin, temptation, fears, control, abuse, gangs, violence, left-behind children- and on and on and on.  How will they know there is real LIFE?

Unless someone- sent-goes.

Are you that someone?  Sent on beautiful feet to share good news of good things?

Are you willing?  

If God is speaking into you- that this is His desire for you- then please message Nick or me!  One Thursday night a month.  Only an hour and a half.  : )  

Romans 10:13-15
13 for “Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
14 How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without a preacher? 15 How will they preach unless they are sent? Just as it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news of good things!”
