It is month 6 of this crazy, beautiful, wild season of my life called World Race! I am in India! I can’t believe that I am here, in the place I only dreamed of visiting since I was a small child! Even though I am physically here, I still sometimes have to open my eyes a bit wider each day to come to the realization that I am really here in India!
This country is filled with loud noises, busy traffic, bright colors, exotic smells, curious people, abundant culture and so much more! However, thru all of that one thing that I have been learning a lot about thru these characteristics that help make India the beautiful country that it is- is that this country is full of LOVE! I entered this month excited, but at the same time I wasnt sure what to expect. The way of life here is different and many people have different beliefs than what I do, but so far that hasn’t changed the hearts of the people here!
The people that I have had the opportunity to meet, even if it has just been one interaction with them- it has always been a joyous experience. They are filled with love, hugs, learning new words in a new language, prayer, laughter, chai and sometimes curry and rice oh and many many pictures! My team and I are invited to a new village each night to share Gods love, His word, Encouragement and more! I have visibly seen nothing but tangible love from these people- young and old, they are excited, joy filled, encouraging, and eager to receive, learn and be encouraged! It definitely helps, since this month I am definetely being stretched by preaching snd sharing testimonies!
Even the people that do not believe in what we believe in, are so caring, hospitable, full of joy, love and have such big hearts open to us being in their country! This encourages me to keep on being LOVE, sharing God’s truth and Jesus with people- not matter where we are or who it is! Sharing about God might be not be allowed in some places in this world but LOVE is allowed EVERYWHERE!
More and more I am realizing that LOVE drowns out the pool of religion!
Cimone- I’m glad you are getting to preach and share testimony! Sounds like you are seeing first hand what Jesus teaches us…love wins.
amen! Love wins every time! Thank you for reading my blogs!
