Do you have disciples?
An important part of the mission Jesus entrusted to us is to make disciples.
Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.
- Matthew 28:18–20
God has called us to spread His message of salvation and to multiply. There are many people around us who have not yet received God’s love in their hearts. They may be our family members, friends, coworkers, neighbors… There are people everywhere who have not yet experienced God’s forgiveness or the hope of eternal life.
How can we reach them? By showing God’s love and speaking about the wonderful things He has done for us. Simple gestures, such as a smile or a kind word, can impact people and lead them to ask questions that open the door to talk about Jesus.
Ask God to help you reach others with His love, and cover every kind gesture with prayer for the other person. Perhaps one day, not too far away, you will be able to share the good news of salvation, and that person will become your disciple for the glory of God.
In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
- Matthew 5:16
Who can you reach today with the love of God? Shine in the light of Christ and help someone draw closer to Him.

Are you evangelizing?
Before ascending to heaven, Jesus left clear and important instructions for all who desire to follow Him. We must proclaim the love of God to others so that they may be saved through faith in the Lord Jesus.
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.
- Matthew 28:19–20
Are you evangelizing? Are you sharing the message of salvation with other people? It may seem like a very difficult task, but you just need to let God guide you. He has promised to be with you, you are not alone in your mission.
Fill your heart with God’s love for others and ask the Holy Spirit to show you the best way to bless the people around you. The gospel is good news that brings joy and hope, do not be afraid. Love with the love God gives you. Smile with love and brighten the lives of those you meet along the way.
You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
- Matthew 5:14–16
Bring the light of Christ through your actions, and speak to others about the love of God when the opportunity arises.

Overcome these 3 fears with the help of Jesus
The fear of the future paralyzes you and keeps you from living all the blessings God has for your life. That’s why it’s important to face your fears, fighting them with the help of God’s Word. The true love of God drives out all fear.
There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.
- 1 John 4:18
In the Bible, we are reminded that God’s love is complete, without flaws, and able to dissolve any fear we may feel. This love surpasses our understanding and brings with it a peace that calms our hearts.
As we draw near to this perfect love, we find safety and refuge. God loves us unconditionally, regardless of our imperfections. It’s a love that surrounds us, sustains us, and transforms us. When we understand this love, we recognize that we are loved, and that empowers us to love others in the same way, overcoming insecurity.
In God’s perfect love, we discover that we don’t need to fear the future, difficulties, or judgment. He invites us to trust Him and live in His grace. May we share this love with those around us, creating an environment of acceptance, compassion, and care. In God’s perfect love, we find the true peace that surpasses all understanding.
Do not be afraid or insecure, receive God’s love, draw near to Him, and move forward with confidence and joy.
The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.
- Deuteronomy 31:8
