Moments like this

You know those moments when Jesus  moves so clearly in your life/the lives of those around you that you can kind of do nothing except praise him? Yeah, one of those moments happened today. After we finished our evening sports clinic we gathered all the children and shared the gospel like we always do, but this time children responded. I found myself sitting on a hard, concrete, multipurpose court surrounded by children making decisions for Christ. In all honesty, it felt like the whole world stopped for a moment. THIS is what we came for. Not to sign autographs, run sports camps, or even hold a bunch of children, but for this. To see lives transformed by the love of Jesus Christ and decisions made for eternity.I am convinced that this is what heaven looks like. People from all different walks of life, cultures, countries, continents, and socio-economic classes declaring the goodness and Lordship of our King. What a moment. It is here that  I am astonished by the fact that Jesus chooses to use me, to use us, when He could so easily do it on His own. He loves me enough to let me play a part, even if it's a tiny part, it is more than I ever deserve. He is good.
