The World is Starving! #MyVisionFast

My
Vision Fast January
8, 2020 The
World is Starving! Greetings! Friends,
at the time of my writing this reflection, war is imminent, racism is real,
gender discrimination is still a thing, orphans outnumber the caretakers
necessary for every child to grow up in a loving home, and the preschool to
prison pipeline has not been completely dissolved. There is so much going on in the world… so
much hatred and pain, loneliness and abandonment, violence and hopelessness. What in the world are we to do? Where are we to go? How do we keep on keeping on? As
a child, I learned the words to this song: Jesus
is the answer For
the world today Above
Him there is no other Jesus
is the way And
as much as I do believe that Jesus is the answer, I do not want to over
simplify the complexities of the issues we are facing and our responsibility in
addressing them. Meaning, our belief in
Jesus as the Savior of the world, and model for revolutionary love that
transforms the hearts and minds of people is only part of answer. The other part is our choice of whether or
not we will yield to the impression of His counterpart that desires to lead,
guide, and direct our path -The Holy Spirit. “Since
we live by the Spirit, we must also follow the Spirit.” [Galatians
5:25] It
is our belief in Jesus AND our living by the Spirit that will make the
difference. Unfortunately,
the world is starving for people who will embody the fruit of the Holy Spirit
that this world so desperately needs. And
while the adversary is an undeniably guilty culprit in the evil and destruction
of our society, I cannot help but to think that the believers of Jesus have
also been slack in their following of Jesus who also was led by the Spirit and promised
that the Holy Spirit would lead us in His physical absence. In other words, we who believe in Jesus also
have the fruit that the world needs but when we refuse to follow the Spirit, we
contribute to the starvation of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness,
faith, gentleness, and self-control in this world. The scripture says that “Against such things,
there is NO law..” NO limit… NO restriction… Friends,
I am suggesting that the world is starving and downright HANGRY [irritable or angry because of hunger] for the fruit
that only followers of the Spirit can provide.
We are gifted with the endless possibility of providing the fruit of the
Spirit to the world and when we do not bear THIS kind of fruit in abundance,
well, the world starves. And we all know
what happens when it has been too long since our last meal, we get aggravated,
frustrated, impatient, a little short… some of us get sick… some of us cannot
think straight… some of us get attitudes that make us not so easy to be around. Can you imagine a world with a visible abundance
of the fruit of the Holy Spirit that feeds this HANGRY world? Think about that for a second… Friends,
the world is starving for YOU to live by the Spirit and follow the Spirit so
that YOU can bear the fruit of the Spirit that the world is so desperately
craving. We need you to feed the world with
the unlimited supply of the fruit of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness,
faith, gentleness, and self-control that comes through you as you follow the
Spirit. Friends,
let us feed the world! God
