Nothing like being mocked by children, sworn and yelled at, doors slamming and dirty looks whenever we walk by. Too many times we walked away just shaking our heads and reminding ourselves how much we love Jesus Christ.
And that's how it goes here in Palmdale. We love Jesus Christ and we keep taking one step forward because the moments when you find someone who's heart is open and Jesus Christ becomes real to them make every rejection worth it.
Talking to a dad in his yard he wasn't looking for religion, but as I talked about the firm foundation that the gospel has given me and my family, I pointed towards his little girl jumping and giggling on the trampoline. There was a still moment as we all watched her and then there was a shift and our conversation became real. "Maybe we should go back to church, I still have one of those books." More than telling us, he was telling himself.
The restored gospel of Jesus Christ is what makes a difference in our lives. I know that there are difficult times, but my heart pleads with you: through all the slams, swears and shakes of life, hold onto Jesus Christ.
Love big! Love hard!
