This morning I was thinking of 
a number of people
I know
who have wandered down 'bunny trails'
or 'distractions' to their Faith in Jesus....
Some have made decisions
that even deny that faith.....
In all cases these people now have
a circle of influence
that is full of others 
who also need Jesus....
As I read about
Saul / Paul's conversion in Acts 9:1-21
I realized that God is up to 
stuff.
- An 'end run'
- A work of redemption
that includes even more than those 
who have 'strayed'
but all those who are in their circle of influence....
I realized God is
bigger than my 'need'
to make sure my friends 
'stay on track' at all times....
(that's making the very large assumption
that I am on track.... :P )
God uses even 
disobedience
to enlarge the Kingdom!
Oh Lord,
You are Good!
Your Kingdom extends
even into places of 
disobedience... and 
areas of untruth
to rescue those who live there....
using your Children
who have wandered
Wow.
What an amazing God
You are.
Thank You for the reminder
that I don't need to sweat
saving the world
and keeping everyone
'on track'
You are already doing that 
Sooooo well. 
:)
I love You
