A Call to Persevere

Most people I know want to live the fullest, most enriching life possible. In fact, that�s the kind of life God wants for us, too! But how do we achieve that kind of life?

I believe that the more effort we put toward reaching our generation with the Good News, the more fulfilled we become. What greater adventure can there be than helping someone take the step of faith to believe in Jesus Christ?

Now, you may be thinking, “Sure, Luis… easy for you to say. But I�ve tried sharing my faith and nothing seems to happen!”

It�s true – many times, we won�t see the results of our witnessing until years later. But what God notices is our willingness to persevere, to stick with it, and to try again.

St. Paul says in Philippians 3: “Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead; I press on toward the goal to win the prize…”

So let�s bury those insecurities, or what I call “chickenitis.” Let�s press on and continue sharing the cross and resurrection of Jesus Christ with our world.

As you focus on the spiritual condition of others, you�re fulfilling the greatest calling on your life. And God will show you the fruit of your faithfulness. There�s nothing more exciting than that!
