God Wants to Expand Your Circle!

Who is in your circle of friends, neighbors, co-workers, or family? Are you in a my four and no more group? Many of us have so many different walls up to protect ourselves. Without realizing it we have limited God in reaching out to others.

Think about who Jesus had around him. Tax collector, a doubter, an opinionated fisherman, a thief, and those fighting for leadership positions. The apostles were a messed-up bunch of people. He used this group of misfits, in the religious world’s view, to bring God’s kingdom on earth. They changed the course of history.

It was the religious people with their supposedly perfect protocol, dress, and reputation that God couldn’t use!

Allow God to bring the people He wants into your life. It not only will transform you but it will release the power of God to transform others. Let God take the messy people, including you, and apply his grace through Jesus. This is faith in a BIG God! This releases God transforming grace to change the people in your circle of influence. We don’t have to be perfect, just willing to be use.
